Keto question

fdlewenstein

Has anyone tried a product called Keto elevate or a similar product? Do these products work and how?

No and no to both questions. Keto is just restricting carbs low enough to produce ketones. That's it. You don't need to test and you don't need to check if you're in ketosis. Focus on protein, don't gorge on fat, and eat low carb fruit and vegetables within your calorie goals.

Define work? It might raise ketone level but that doesn't mean you are burning more body fat. There are a lot of keto gimmicks out there, and this is probably just another one.

I use heavy cream or picnik creamer (love the taste) in my tea.

Products might work a little, like coconut oil also gives you immediate "free ketones" or some such.

But, basically eat mostly fat, some protein and no carbs and you should go to ketosis.

I was keto for 3 years and never used any of these products. Remember if you are measuring ketones via urine strips those ketones are NOT being used by the body. My friend kept buying these $60 supplements to try to hit dark purple on the ketone sticks and I was like you are literally creating expensive urine. Those ketones are wasted but eh to each their own. lol
