Ketone Breath Meter VS Blood Ketone Meter VS Ketone Urine Strips
You can also measure ketones with a blood ketone meter or ketone urine strips.
The advantage of ketone breath meters is that they are much easier and convenient to use than the other two. You need to blow some air into the breath meter and you will get results in a few seconds. You don’t need to pee on the strip or prick your finger.
Acetone production is a reliable indicator that you are converting fat into energy. Blood ketones can be increased through exogenous sources, an increase in acetone indicates the production of endogenous ketones, which means from the liver’s own metabolism.
If you struggle to keep on with the keto diet, try to create a support group with family members and friends. Having their backs can significantly help. When you have meals together they will not push you to go for foods heavy in carbs. You can also create certain goals and milestones for yourself. Each time you reach a milestone, give yourself a small present or a treat.
