Menopause is a natural part of the aging process and not a disease that needs to be prevented. Most doctors recommend HRT for almost all post-menopausal women, usually for a few years. When HRT is then stopped, symptoms should be mild or non existent.
It could take some self experimentation to figure out your optimal range as this depends on a lot of things, but most people will need to go under 50 grams per day to get into full-blown ketosis. This doesnât leave you with many carb options except vegetables and small amounts of berries. Bottom Line: If you want to get into ketosis and reap the full metabolic benefits of low-carb, going under 50 grams of carbs per day may be required.
There are 4 calories in a gram of carbohydrates. So, to burn one g of carbohydrates, burn 4 calories. When you're exercising, you're burning calories...not necessarily carbs alone. A calorie is a unit of energy, not food. If you're in ketosis, you're obviously not using glucose from carbohydrates. Just focus on how many calories you're eating versus how many you're taking in, and keeping your carbs below 20, with a moderate amount of dextrose after you lift along with your protein.
