> If you have never entered ketosis and experienced your brain running on ketones, I would suggest you experiment for yourself.

How do you do that? If the low-carb diet isn't enough, what is?

Low carb is generally considered to be under 100g carbs/day. Ketosis requires under 20g carbs/day.
under 50g and it depends on the physical activity of the individual. Meaning if you're a highly tuned physical machine then you can eat far more than 50g.
Closer to 50g/day, not 20....but the lower you go the more ketones your body produces.
This is a net/gross carb confusion. Less than 50g including fiber, or 20g excluding fiber.
Ketosis is a normal supplemental metabolic state that the body enters in between meals to various degrees. There's no hard black/white macro requirement.
