Any ideal ketones level?
I started the keto diet 8 days ago. Today is the first time I test for ketones using the urine strips. Its purple, quite high at 8mmol. I'm a type 2 diabetic and my sugar level this morning is 4.7mmol. Any cause for concern? Is it normal for beginners?

How many carbs knock you out of ketosis?
Ketostix only test for one type of ketone, Acetoacetic Acid. After a few weeks in ketosis your body will be producing predominantly beta hydroxybutyrate, which will not register on ketostix. We all know what the books and literature say about carb limits. New people get knocked out very easily. So I would like a survey of…

Today is the fourth of July. I just saw the Doug Kaufman "know the cause" show. His show mainly targets fungus as a link to many illnesses. They had a section on the keto diet. They showed one study/report after another that proved some cancers can and do grow on ketones. The second complaint about the keto diet: they…

Help - So hungry! :(
Okay, so I have been doing Keto for about 3 weeks now. Before, I was eating just clean food with small cheats on the weekends. My work week was strict with low fat, low carbs (only ate sweet potatoes and oats on heavy lifting days and carbs were still under 100 on those days). With the low carb (around 30 grams total) I…

Question about exercise + keto
So I have started keto a few days ago and am learning the ropes. I have a question - I know that if I eat my daily allotment of calories I can exercise to earn a little more. For example, if I go 80 cals over my daily max, I can go for a walk or ride my bike to balance that out and stay in a deficit. What about carbs? For…
