The WRONG Way to Measure Ketosis - Ph.D Explains the BEST Way 

Agree get to obsessed get to stressed

most ppl doing keto are not even in ketosis,,,

i think acetone measuring is great,,,

Gardenchickster1 are you using the Biosense? Like it still?

Hi, are you still using Biosense and are you still happy with it? Pros and Cons? Thanks

glucose is more important bc youre always using glucose and it mirrors insulin,,, you dont need to measure ketones bc most likely youre not in ketosis even on keto unless youre doing the diet perfectly,,,

Thanks for the suggestion

That is one wild sentence because no one should be eating McDonalds "nuggets"

I always feel so bad when I cheat as well! I know exactly how you feel!

I just had a slice of low carb Hero Bread and 1 tablespoon of keto choc zero syrup. I am so bloated. Omg. Never again

you also can gain weight or not lose weight and lose fat and build muscle ,,, bmi is better,,,

its really difficult to be in ketosisos ppl on leto are not even in ketosis since youre always burning sugar and some fat at the same time,,, ive been doing keto for 6 months and have not registered any ketones until i overhauled my keto diet and exercise regime,,,

i did keto for 6 months carb cycled past two days to not become glucose intolerant and had a terrible time for the two days on carbs,,,

Hey I have chronic pain and do ketovorish for same (3 yrs, mostly omad). May I ask any tips on things you've elliminate from your diet that helped? I know 100% gluten free and reduction of any seed oils are. the best problems to avoid. tyia! ❤🙏

@@dana102083 Well, I try to eat more SMASH fish and less beef, rarely pork or chicken; while trying to eat as low packaged food and added sugar and seed oils as possible. Chicken breast is okay. I cook it with EVOO. I eat a lot of shrimp after resistance training in particular. That or white fish. No hydrogenated anything or excitotoxins. I avoid any seasonings that are not pure spice because they’re almost always poisoned. This also means I almost never eat out for the same reason. Beware “natural seasonings” and pretty much anything on a food label you haven’t researched, if you do eat something packaged. I favor organic over non-GMO, over the rest, but bend a lot. In particular I use the clean fifteen and dirty dozen as a guide with vegetables. I don’t eat fruit except olives, avocados and tomatoes. I avoid all starches and grains, even if they fit within keto macros. I don’t avoid nightshades but that varies from person to person. I have no opinion on green leafy vegetables but I don’t eat them. Beyond that I try to maximize ketosis without limiting protein below my needs. This includes making sure I get at least 30g of animal protein in every meal, no matter how many meals I eat. I try to get an avocado a day, half at a time with meals if multiple meals per day. If only one meal, more protein and whole avocado. Some cruciferous veg with most meals. From what I can tell, 5 to 8 ounces of cruciferous vegetables actually improves ketosis. I get raw kimchi and raw sauerkraut too. So in summary, I think it’s as much what I eat as what I don’t. Other than that spending as much time fasted as possible including at least a day on weekends if possible, and an extended fast of the to five every couple months. The longer they are the more time in between, so five days means wait at least a couple moths before more than three again. Longer than that at least three months. That’s what works best for me besides consistent sleep and multiple 30-minute-plus walks in the sun each day. Hope that helps. Any tips for me? PS: I try to maximize grass-fed and wild-especially salmon, ghee and butter. TBH I’ve mixed in a lot of keto advice I’m sure you know but for me the trick is clean keto as possible without sacrificing animal protein. I think keto is often sold as low protein and I think that cost me, initially. That’s where copious wild fatty fish and grass-fed meat comes in.

@@dana102083 Oh yeah, I supplement with benfotiamine, magnesium complex and magnesium threonate in addition, along with the usual keto sups. I take a lot of herbs but can’t speak for their efficacy. The magnesium changed my life, though. There isn’t a day I don’t take it or potassium. Not sure about pain but I cramp if I don’t get enough potassium. I buy potassium citrate powder and put it in capsules because I need more than is practical over the counter in capsule form. I also use magnesium oil for spinal pain flare-ups. I was surprised to find it helps a lot sometimes. Also surprising are walks in the sun.

@@dana102083 prolonged fasting eliminates messed up cells and proteins ,,, these proteins are all gunked up and give you pain ,,, also conventional meat chicken and dairy are high omega 6 which increases inflammation,,

Are you still using the bio sense? I need to stop pricking my fingers as well. I don’t know which device to buy.

Getting your insulin up from time to time is very good. It's healthy for the thyroid, metabolism and insulin sensitivity. 👍🙂

I do just fine controlling my BG on keto .. I WAS a raging diabetic .. now my A1c is no longer diabetic AND I am incrementally getting better ..

@@catholiccat8489 well the way i look at it if your A1C isn't 5 or under your not optimum. An A1C is an average blood glucose if around 97.

@@GregariousAntithesis the way I look at it is if I was 14.5 in Nov and I’m 5.7 now and I still see my BG going down .. I’m good …so I’ll just stick to what’s working for me and you stick to what’s working for you

@@catholiccat8489 if it were just that simple.

You can write him here and maybe if you’re lucky he’ll read it

Well, you may wanna start obsessing over it or at least start doing it a little bit if you wanna ward off certain diseases like diabetes and metabolic syndrome

I imagine some people need to, for example people epileptics who have to maintain a certain level of ketones for health & safety.

we need ppl like that,,,

Yes, Crypto is amazing. I eat it every morning with a whole bottle of King syrup. So filling.
