Ketones too high? How to low them?

(Ray Gomez) #1

Hi!

I’ve been on keto for a Month now, no cheat meals. I’m also doing IF, somedays OMAD if i feel like it. In a month, i’ve lost 6kg, which i think it means is working for me i guess.

Today i bought an urine test, and i tried it fasted. It turned purple right away, 8mg.

I eated, tested again, same result. Before going to bed, same.

I’ve reading that this ketone levels are too high, that i should be around 1,5.

I don’t have diabetes or anything.

So my question is, are my ketone levels too high? Is that something bad? And if so, how do i level them down?

Thanks!!

Short answer: No.

Longer answer: Don’t worry about the numbers on the keto stix. You’re OK. Carry on.
