This afternoon I purchase a blood sugar and ketone tester and, in true form, started researching which I should test after I bought the tester. I have spent the last 90min reading through old posts on testing but am still a bit in the dark.
I am now 30kg (66lb) overweight but otherwise healthy (not diabetic) - I’m in this for the fat loss.
What measure should I pay most attention to? If I keep my blood sugar down, is that enough?
I have been testing ketones with pee sticks since I started 3 months ago but lately they have only been registering fairly minimal levels. I’m presuming I am in ketosis even if the strips don’t register but I will use the monitor to check anyway.
I don’t really want to be measuring blood keto multiple times a day due to the cost of the ketosis test strips - $1.50 each.
As I lose fat I am becoming more and more concerned about loose skin. I am thinking of doing EF to reach autophagy in the hope that I’ll recycle my spare skin. I’m not overly confident that I can do EF, to be honest, but I will give it a shot. I was hoping to use monitor to assess GKI so I know when I am in autophagy… does anyone else do this?
