[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1142008, member: 41816"] There are other ways of measuring ketosis. Some of the glucose meters have strips that test blood ketones. Not sure of all the brand names, but I know that Freestyle Neo does - because I have one. The strips are, of course, more expensive. Then there is a gadget called the Ketonix. Again, expensive, but I suppose it would depend on usage. IF used regularly it could turn out to be much LESS expensive than the keto blood testing strips. Here is a link [URL]https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ketonix-Blue/dp/B01ANJQERA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462122504&sr=8-1&keywords=ketonix[/URL] Personally, I don't bother with any testing method at all. The longer you spend on a very low carb diet, the more aware you become of how your body feels - energy levels, muscle aches, mental clarity. I think I spend surprisingly little time in ketosis, but am always fat adapted (see article link below) so I am happy. [URL]http://www.tuitnutrition.com/2016/01/dont-be-a-ketard1.html[/URL] I love this article series. I know immediately when I have had too many carbs, it feels like putting sugar in the tank and then trying to drive the car up a hill. :) [/QUOTE]
