Low carb is generally considered to be under 100g carbs/day. Ketosis requires under 20g carbs/day.


under 50g and it depends on the physical activity of the individual. Meaning if you're a highly tuned physical machine then you can eat far more than 50g.


Closer to 50g/day, not 20....but the lower you go the more ketones your body produces.


This is a net/gross carb confusion. Less than 50g including fiber, or 20g excluding fiber.


Ketosis is a normal supplemental metabolic state that the body enters in between meals to various degrees. There's no hard black/white macro requirement.
