Depends on your activity level and basal metabolic rate.

That too depends on many things including your activity level, basal
metabolic rate, and protein intake.

"Low-carb" means that there are not enough carbohydrate being consumed
to sustain the Krebs cycle resulting in hyperketonemia. The exact
number of grams of carbohydrates will vary from person to person, meal
to meal, and time to time.

Any time I hear someone saying that they are singling out carbohydrates
to be reduced, what they are doing is likely "low-carb" if there is
weight-loss especially if there is loss of appetite. When I smell their
"ketone breath," I then *know* that they are low-carbing.
