Ketosis - good or bad?

With my workout regime, I could never survive and so few carbs. 30 or less.
Post surgery, low carb I guess is relative.
I consume about 80 grams of carbs a day and am fine with that. Have tons of energy for my workouts.

My NUT actually wants me to get 125 grams. She said it with suppress my appetite more. 

Pre-surgery I was consuming about 250-300 grams of carbs a day.

You have to find balance where you feel that best. Remember the best "diet" for lack of a better word, is one you can stick with.

Right now I don't feel deprived as if I am missing something.

In my Atkins days, I always felt hungry. I heard you can just train the body to adapt.

Just my two cents.

I apologize in advance for resurrecting an old topic. But, the light finally turned on for me on the ketosis issue.

I went to one of the educational seminars last night put on my WLS doctors. The guest speaker was an LSW who had RNY about 5 years ago. She talked about ketosis and said that monitoring and tracking your ketosis levels was a great way of ensuring you're staying on track.

She said that when you hit a temporary stall it's helpful to check you ketosis level and verify / reassure yourself that you haven't started taking in too many carbs.

To quote the wise chrispy_man in an earlier post to this thread:

Basically my eating plan results in high protein low carb. The Ketosis provides the indication that I am actually burning fat for fuel. I've turned that into a huge positive.

I use keto sticks regularly to chek my levels. So on all those days when my weight is bouncing around, I can take confidence in the fact that I am actually burning fat, because I can see it on the stick.

It probably sounds funny but I know that eating 800-1000 calories a day results in weight loss, but dang do I feel screwed up sometimes. Always strugling with my "head". This helps me keep it straight.

Grandpa_G and Paul C. also provided very helpful info which didn't sink in. Wish I had understood this concept a month ago.
