How long can someone stay on Keto? Is there a limited amount of time or can someone do it as long as they choose?
I ask because I feel much better on keto than when I'm on carbohydrates. Is it possible to stay on keto for a long period of time or can it only be done for short periods??

how many carbs do you have to take in a day to experience the keto breath? I have basically just cut my carbs in half and after about a week i am burping up this mysterious smell which i am assuming is the keto breath

you have to take in under 30 or so to be in ketosis that is a rough estimate...depends on the person I guess but any more than that you are probably not there.

just gotta take fibrous carbs
which dont have any impact in your sugar levels
ketosis is all about insuline control

I've read stuff from a guy who's a strong promoter of keto diets, and he stays on it year round.. He seemed to know a ton about it to..
I don't know a whole lot about it though.. I'm not telling you it's safe to stay on it as long as you want.. I just thought i'd throw it out there

dude if the "keto-king" KAM doesnt have the answer to this, we are fucked...hehehe...
no seriously dude... Im trying it out for the first time right now, and I would not go over 16 weeks. 15-16 is when I would stop. Evan did it for 16 weeks when he was leaning out for the competition didnt he?

i remember something called ketoacidity or someshit like that, it happends when excess of ketones flood your body and that aint good, also i read you can have kidney problems blah blah, i am not sure i will keep researchin online or i will ask dave soon

I believe that dave said he has people who stay on keto year round, along with the cheat meal...Ketoacidosis would only be a problem for a sedentary person who is not getting the ketones out of their body

Get some Ultra-Iso Whey or Universal Egg Protein to save the carbs from shakes. PB (Natural PB not that JIF crap that is loaded with sugar) is not too bad in small amounts. It is actually good fat for a keto diet, but you will want to watch the carbs. I couple spoonfuls should do. Lettuces is Ok I believe, I like romain as my main carb source.
