I am eating more carbs now without spiking. My keto was 16 grams a day. Now I eat 10-20 per meal, plus a fruit snack of about 15-20. It varies, obviously. If I have 22 grams of carbs for breakfast (Jimmy Dean breakfast bowl!) then I am likely to have a sandwich (10 grams for the carb smart bread) for lunch, and meat plus veggie ( broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cucumber, or carrots) for dinner. I try to stay under 50 grams a day most days, which is where I was before I tried keto.
Keto works; I lost weight and my blood sugars were good. My lipid profile wasn’t.
And keto was not an eating style that was sustainable for me. When sweet corn is in season, I am going to eat an ear, and freeze some for later. Two or three times in summer, I will get a pineapple sundae from DQ. (I can, when starting with a blood sugar of 80, at about 3PM, eat a piece of cheesecake, or a small chocolate malt, like 150 carbs, and not spike over 150. I can somehow handle carbs better in early afternoon.) I can eat 2 or sometimes 3 slices of thin crust pizza for supper. Hungry Howie’s is the best locally. But not every day, too many carbs even with the thin crust.
