    Great!!! And being that low on carbs you should have no doubt ur in ketosis so no need to waste $

    My thoughts exactly :)

    Even eating < 30 g a day, I rarely pull a blood keytones # larger than 1.0, I know I'm dropping weight, but I would just say that everyone's body is different.

    What about if my doctor told me to stay away from sodium because of my high blood pressure? Anyone have any experience with this?

    If you have a genetic predisposition to high blood pressure, then sodium can complicate your blood pressure, but as others said, you're primarily replacing what you're losing through waste. In general, if you DEVELOPED high blood pressure as you gained weight, sodium does not affect it as doctors once thought. So if you have true genetic complications, you may have to find a good balance, but for most of us with high blood pressure, sodium was never a factor to begin with - it was just a medical hypothesis...

    Urine with ketostix. It is the cheapest and simplest way for me to check every once in a while.

    Yup. Cut them in half if you're really cheap. I'm really cheap.
