So I know there are so many different ideas about measuring ketones and the effectiveness . But I’m getting mild keto readings with blood 0.6/0.7 but optimal keto levels with urine strips (3-4).
I already had a meter that has ketone strips available so I got blood strips and urine strips. My idea was to test daily until I reach Ketosis then just check in.
My issue is that my keto blood reading have been at .6/.7 since day 3. Additionally before I knew keto was a thing several years ago I went a week with only eating meat and cheese (testing insulin resistance- PCOS). At that time I lost 10lbs in a week. I’ve lost 5 this week so I feel like the low-ish keto readings may be a sign of less optimal spea.
I’ve been keeping to a strict diet with under carbs under 20g. But my ketone level won’t budge.
Is it possible I’m not eating enough? Or does anyone have an idea?
