>What do you mean by "very low"? I do ketogenic diet once in a while for a month or two at a time. I eat 1200kcal and try to keep the carbs around 30g (10%). It is recommended to keep it below 25g per day in the diet. I have read somewhere that <100g of carbs per day qualifies as "low carb". I am not obese nor am I diabetic. I do it just to go from higher end of the normal BMI range to the lower end and this diet is the most effective and easiest way to do it. I go back to "normal" diet (i.e. don't care about how much of what I am eating) after I am done getting lean and gradually gain the weight back in around a year... and repeat the cycle. Have done 5 cycles so far. Works pretty well for me.
