Ketone testing

[KevinPotts]

Just received my machine and have done my first test....

....not impressive at just 0.3, which is normal and suggests not in a Keto adapted state.

I wonder if I really messed it up on hols last week, although my BG levels are fine and stable.

A bit more effort required Mr Potts before my second Lipid panel and A1C on the 14 July

What I do like, is that I can now get accurate numbers, so no kidding myself!!

It will be interesting to see your results

I have 3 weeks to get a grip again and make sure my first 9 weeks effort pre hols was not wasted.

Renewed effort has begun immediately

So I've tested again today and woooo....I am 0.9, which is well above the threshold of 0.5 normally associated with fat burning (Phinney et al).

I started running and gym again following the excesses of my hols and battered myself into submission.

It will be interesting to see what my 7 day fast starting this Sunday does.

Somewhere between 1.0 and 3.0 is expected!
