Best way to check ketone level? HELP!
Hi
Wondering if anyone can help as in pretty new to this! Been Keto since 25/03/2019.
Before going Keto I started with a 7 day water fast from 18/03/2019- 25/03/2019, then started off with bone broth and slowly introducing solids back in to my diet.
I have been sticking to macro guidelines, only started tracking on here past 2 days, great progress so far! But i was just wondering if it would be worth investing in Keto test strips and how accurate they are? Or if I would be better investing in blood test kit ( Keto Mojo)
Help! 😄

The test strips aren’t a bad idea to see where exactly your body is in Ketosis but the blood test definitely isn’t needed if you’re eating more fat than carbs you can assume you’re in ketosis! Good luck on your journey !

Test strips are okay in the beginning when your body is not sure what to do with the ketones and pees them out. When you're body changes to ketones for fuel, they won't necessarily show up in your urine. That's when using a blood meter for ketones is best.

KC Agreed! I was thinking when you become fat adapted it wouldn't really give an accurate reading for the pee strips! Thanks for the help 😇
