Have you changed anything? Hope your not coming down with anything8.6
My readings have all gone to poo in the last week or so.
Croc, same diet / exercise? For myself if I get higher than MY normal readings it's usually a traceable reason, normally diet.8.6

Good morning all on this sunny morning
4.0 this morning (04/06/15)
You know even though I am confident that my result will be acceptable I still get excited while waiting for my meter to count down to the reading. Then pleased when it is ok. Gives me a boost to start the day.
Hola Pasha
Nice high ketones there. Are you doing anything extra at the moment or just being your consistent self?

Sounds like what I will find on Saturday when I go back to work. I have got my screening on Tuesday were are you going for yoursNothings changed diet wise. The only thing I can think of is that going back to work this week after 2 weeks off has been very stressful. I walked in to a complete mess which took me three days to sort out,
Still a day off today whilst I have my retinal screening.
I get these sort of reading when I have gone more than 5 hrs between mealsI'd like an opportunity to find out!
Are you still measuring, in the old way, or are you doing something new now, @Pasha dear?
I ask, because , try as hard as I might, I can only ever get my ketones to register 1.9 , or 2.
And you've been out to dinner, too.
When I went out to dinner, I just had the cream, not the gooey dessert , but now I think it may have been sweetened, after all.
And it takes effort to get into ketosis and not much to get out of it. So, what is the secret?
Hola PashaNo real secret I think.Low carbohydrates 21grams, medium proteins,84 grams, fat/oil even down to 140 grams ie if you do the calculation those = 1680 calories distribution 5% c 20% p 75% f. No snacks etc. Apart from diet, Its possible that our genes influence our results. Oh yes, no desserts and no cheat meals really.Hope this helps, Merrylizzard.
P.S BK of 1.9-2.0 is very good the ideal range is 1.5....3.0 and it said that there is no advantage gained from getting higher values. See Finney and Volek , "The art and science of low carb". ie you are doing just fine.
