for me, sustainable means doable. it's extremely difficult (for me) to stay in ketosis over time. which means someone like me is constantly popping in and out of ketosis, not fun. ugh actually!
30-40 g carbs is right on the edge of where most people dip into ketosis, for me, i had to maintain <20g carbs. i believe i recall that the keto ledge is anywhere between 20g and 80g carbs. peeps have to figure out where they are on that.

The boys in r/keto told me that 20g is strict and most can maintain ketosis with 50g or less.. Just have to see what's best for you I guess.
I lost 45 pounds when I was on Keto and recently got back on because I had to stop as I was losing weight so fast my tuxedo at my friends wedding wouldn't have fit me if I hadn't taken a break from it. Now I'm back on and yesterday was my first day... I hadn't completely quit, I just wasn't in ketosis anymore when I "stopped" so I did gain some weight back but managed to drop some of it back off.
I had started it a month before having to quit (for the 2nd time and first time doing it properly) and I was at 320 pounds, dropped to 285 then took my hiatus and went back to 310 but this morning after a nice dump I weighed 292, so going back on is good for me. Need to get down about 80ish more pounds and I'll be happy.
