Hi everyone,
I’ve been on Keto for two months now, mainly for mental health reasons (not trying to lose weight). Really feeling the benefits of the diet which I’m psyched about.
I use a Ketone Breath Meter every day to check my levels. For most of the two months I have been in the 2.70-3.00 range (optimal zone), but within the last week my levels have climbed as high as 6.00, and seem to be a lot closer to the higher scores on average.
I haven’t done anything differently in the last week, except I did go on a 4 hour hike and the day after my levels were higher. It’s been very hot out where I live so I have been drinking a lot more water than normal too.
Any suggestions on what I could do to reduce my levels? Would increasing my carb intake lower levels or kick me out of ketosis? I don’t have diabetes or any related issue and I don’t drink.
All the best,
- J
