Ketosis
The general target seems to be 20g or less.
A few years ago I tried intermittent fasting which seemed promising. I would get really bad headaches and would get hungry to an unacceptable level. I tend to eat a lot of high glycemic load foods so I think the transition was too extreme. I'm going to try doing this a week a month. I may also try the intermittent fasting again after to see if I still get the headache.

First attempt, seems to be going ok. I've been eating a large breakfast and then picking at almonds over the day. It may make more sense to try to extend that fast and not eat breakfast, instead making up eggs for lunch. I may attempt a fast at the end of this week, or I may put that off until next month. I started the month pretty high at 209 and dropped quickly to 204 despite a lot of salt and water.
