Please could someone tell me what keytones readings In should be getting if I am in keytones.I am getting 0.2 at the moment don't know if that good or not much.x
But I am only 02 that doesn't seem to mean anything not even am I in nutritional Keyboard that starts at ,0.5. and yet I have sometimes less that 12 carbs a day and never more than 40.Hi Motherhan - You might find reading this page worthwhile: https://nutritionalketosisforhealth.com/what-is-nutritional-ketosis/

Some folks are very concerned to be in the optimal range, but my personal view is if you are keen to be efficiently burning burning fat, then being in nutritional ketosis would be enough.
Personally, I have never striven for ketosis. I just eat to my meter, but we're all different in how we choose to handle things..

No I am using a dual metre.I have no bread potatoes or fruit juice only have cabbage and. Spinach expand meat.I either have chicken or other meat with salad or tomatoes and milk so don't nderstandcwhere carbs are coming from.0.2 is a bit low so I'd have another look at your carb intake. One almost guaranteed way to get into ketosis is to fast of course..
Are you testing blood or using the pee sticks? The pee sticks are notoriously inaccurate.
MY only question would be how many tomatoes and how much milk?No I am using a dual metre.I have no bread potatoes or fruit juice only have cabbage and. Spinach expand meat.I either have chicken or other meat with salad or tomatoes and milk so don't nderstandcwhere carbs are coming from.
Either three small cherry tomatoes and two large if I fry them. I don't measure milk as some times I have it in tea or coffee or I have the sachet of capaccinno once or twice day. I don't have two tomatoes fried every morning with breakfast.I usecsemi skimmed milk.MY only question would be how many tomatoes and how much milk?
Are you keeping a detailed food diary then? If you aren’t measuring then you won’t really know what carbs you are having.Either three small cherry tomatoes and two large if I fry them.

Yes I put down what I am eating every night I use the book carbs and Cal's counter but don't put down drinks should I?Are you keeping a detailed food diary then? If you aren’t measuring then you won’t really know what carbs you are having.
Well if they contain carbs might be worth thinking about..I doYes I put down what I am eating every night I use the book carbs and Cal's counter but don't put down drinks should I?
I'd double check the carbs in this even if it is the unsweetened one.I have the sachet of capaccinno once or twice day.
Sachets of cappucino/latte/cup a soup are high in carbs.Either three small cherry tomatoes and two large if I fry them.

Capaccinno is 7.2 carbs oh dear and I love these sachet something else to ditch aahhhhh!Sachets of cappucino/latte/cup a soup are high in carbs.
I want ketosis as I am 16.11 in weight have heavy stomachs and legs and underarm and back fat want to get rid of it nice and for all,although my readings of BT were 9.2 this morning I was hungry andcat my lunch time and my keytones were 0.6 first time ever my weight when I started doing this low carb seriously as 17.4 I really want to master this if I can. I do have cream in instant coffee but only allow myself two cups a day. I will have to look into milk as I don't measure at the moment. But thank you for getting back to me.xxI would ask why you are striving to be in ketosis? If you are very insulin resistant and therefore very carb intolerant perhaps it will be harder to get to the magic 0.5 especially if you are eating enough non starchy veg to make; you feel great and keep your glucose down. If that was the case you are surely doing very well and have a healthy and sustainable way of eating that is right for you. I too want to maximise my fat burn but am determined not to get obsessed remembering that more ketones does not mean better and that we arre all metabolically different. A good book to check out if you did want to know more is Jimmy Moore's Keto Clarity or Dr Joe Mercola's Fat for Fuel (both on Amazon and Audible). Fasting is a great quick route in but may not be necessary if you can choose a gentler 'on ramp'!
Yes have done thank you. 7.2 in each.I'd double check the carbs in this even if it is the unsweetened one.
