[QUOTE="Tamarillo, post: 2553807, member: 544352"] I use an Optimum Neo meter to measure my blood glucose and ketones. Because I have some neurological issues I'm trying to heal, I aim for a ratio of glucose and ketones to maintain quite a high level of ketosis. I eat twice per day and fast every week 48 hours and occassionally do a 3 day fast. I make sure to eat really well on the days I don't fast. I get 30+ g protein at each meal and I include the protein I get from macadamia nuts, pumpkin seeds and a few legumes. I have to keep total carbs 25 grams or less per day or my morning glucose rises and my ketones come down. For protein I have eggs, sardines, beef, bacon and occasionally chicken. For added fats I use olive oil, butter, MCT oil in my coffee (just doing that temporarily) and bacon fat. Other than the few legumes, for carbohydrates I get away wth olives, some home made ferments like sauerkraut and a small amount of seasonal veges plus extras like mustard, herbs and lemon juice. Rarely some dark chocolate. My morning fasted ketones stay between 2.6 and 3.6 and my morning fasted glucose between 3.8 and 4.4. Glucose goes lower during an extended fast and ketones rise accordingly. Before I cut down carbohydrates and increased my fat intake, my morning ketones were .1 (so, definitely not in ketosis!) and my morning glucose was usually between 5 and 6. [/QUOTE]
