[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 1097386, member: 93179"] I use a Ketonix, which as a sort of breathalyser gadget that tests for ketones in your breath - and is quite accurate. It's fairly expensive to buy but is a one-off purchase. Its creator is an Swedish epileptic (ketogenic diets are also helpful for epileptics too) and it's available from his Ketonix.com website, and apparently also now from amazon.co.uk too - but is a posher model at a lot more now than I originally paid for mine! However, you can get a some idea whether you're in ketosis by using Ketostix - strips which test for waste ketones in your wee. They're available from Amazon (and probably ebay) on line for around £6.00, or from chemists. Nice and cheap (some people cut the strips in half) but slightly messy to use.:D:eek: Robbity [/QUOTE]
