If you have lost weight on low carb, how many net grams of carbs are you taking per day?

So I don't think I can do Keto and go without sugar so I probably won't be able to get into ketosis. Keto also sounds absolutely miserable to be honest , the whole am I on ketosis or have I knocked myself out of it by eating a freddo bar etc. It's just not for me.
I definitely think I could do low carb though.
Have you lost weight through doing low carb and not keto? If so, how many net grams of carbs a day and can you still have chocolate or alcohol? (within your net grams obvs)

I think this is where so many get it wrong.

You have to find your own carb threshold. I need to be keto for an autoimmune disease so 20g total carbs not net. I had to work with a nutritionist to get this right.

I count total carbs for everything except vegetables as they’re the food that the net carbs concept is for. Not crappy processed food.

The only way you’ll know is to start lowering your carbs and see where weight loss starts. Most people will do ok under 100g total carbs.
