Re: Ketones too high
I honestly am not an expert but their site says staying pink is optimal, so Small to Moderate. Anything higher is not necessarily "better." I am working off of that premise.…

Re: Some sites say under 50g carbs will get you into keto - others say it must be under 20g. What is your experience?
