    It depends how extreme you go into it. Some people don't eat any fruit or veg; which I don't agree with. So have <20g of carbs a day.

    If you aim for <100g then you are in a Generally low carb diet, and can still enjoy veg and fruit as well as nuts.

    Ketosis kicks in around <50g a day. But it does also depend on your genetics and activity level, as well as what the carbs are made out of.

      Let's just be clear here: being in a state of ketosis is an extreme state to put your body in. A keto diet is normally prescribed for extremely obese patients and several other conditions. It's a medically supervised intervention. By all means reduce your carb intake if it helps you lose weight and you have a tendency to overeat starchy foods but nobody needs to put themselves into a state of ketosis to lose weight.

        Ketosis isn't binary though, and if you are on a low carb diet you are probably already in mild ketosis.

          Clearly, occasionally slipping in and out of a mild state of ketosis as a result of lower carb consumption is not the same thing as putting yourself in a persistent state of induced ketosis.

          That said, I would consider anywhere between 50-100g of carbs a day to be a "low carb" diet and this generally isn't low enough to induce a prolonged state of ketosis.

            Agreed.

            I've personally tried <40g a day and it was thoroughly unpleasant.
