Keyto breathalyzer

(Andi McNamara) #1

Any thoughts on this device? I’m still using a blood test, but would love to switch to a breathalyzer.
Thanks!

My question as well! I buy one. I was a little bit torn between getting a blood check or the breath one but for cost efficiency I decided to go with the lateral. I think that for me it can be useful because I occasionally intentionally cycling in and out or try to eat a bit more carbs before a hard workout.
I hope it’s accurate and worth it, should receive it soon. I can update you when I receive it in the next couple of days.

I was thinking same thing. Let me know if someone who uses one responds to you! Would be much appreciated

OK, I’ve been playing with this for a bit and recently learned how to accurately breathe out into the breathalyzer ( I thought you were supposed to breathe out for 10 seconds but it’s really just exhaling regularly until the end of your breath). I like the simplicity of it and the app use. It has some tips and advise. If any of you are looking for accuracy in numbers (medical use) probably go for the blood test as the breathalyzer works just fine and just give you a range of numbers (see pic) . It’s a fun gadget (I could do without) but since I’ve been cycling in and out I just want to know if I’m back in ketosis in the morning or after a couple of days of eating carbs. I hope that helps!

How are you faring with this? Is the device any good?

Depends what you need it for. If you need it for medical tracking than this is not for you. I bought that because I did not want to go to the more expensive option which is the blood Measurements and keep buying strips. For me it works because I wanted to make sure I am in ketosis, since I am cycling in an out every once in a while, it does the work. Not sure how accurate it really is, though. It does show me I am in ketosis often (Level 4 in light ketosis) so it does the trick. I also bought it during the kick starter sompaid a bit less, $95. I like it and was willing to spend the money but my two cents on this is if you want to have something more tangible go for it but you probably can just feel if you’re in ketosis or not. Hope that helps!
