Notes:

Brain requires 50g to 75g of carbs every day to function. Remember, though: total carbs is always higher than net carbs. You need to stay under 50g NET carbs (total carbs - dietary fiber) to stay in ketosis. (Also, three leading ketosis dieticians all agree that 50g protein is an acceptable amount for someone of my weight and activity level after the first 3 weeks of ketosis, so that's what we're gonna use.) Of your total carbs, remember to get 10-15g from vegetables, 5-10 from nuts & seeds, and 5-10g from fruits. Hemp seed counts as a nut & seed, so flavor your smoothies with some V8 and you might be good to go.
