Also, how did you sleep? That is usually what make a bigger difference for me
Do you have the original or new keto mojo? Loved my old one. New one is all over the place. 🥲
This was a brand new meter.
I am not impressed with the new one either. I got a deal on it and am supposed to send my old one back but I may decide to keep it!
@@mandmmiller unfortunately they stopped selling strips to the old one. I’m gonna try a different brand of meter.
I am on keto for 13 days nowi lost 2 kilos but from yesterday i start feeling sick after eating food for like 1-2 hours , is this normal?
Don’t forget that the brain uses up ketones as well as the body! Dare I suggest that Dr Becky ‘s slightly lower than usual morning reading was due to her superior level of input when the crossword was being conducted the night before?
Sorry, my warped English sense of humour.
Thanks for more quality content.
Keep well, Al.
Her brain constantly uses more energy than mine! :)
Is there a correlation between higher ketones and feeling really good physically and mentally?
I recommend rephrasing the question to ask about a causation instead of a correlation. That way, you will know for sure.
I would say so, there meny other youtubers who discuss this and they do seem to be in agreement that ketones are a more efficient fuel source than carbs. When compared to burning glucose, Ketones generate more ATP than glucose, which is the energy currancy of the human body. Also when it comes to exercise the more intense it is the more dependent the body becomes on glucose (although you can still be burning fat in the process), but the lower intensity types of exercises they tend to be more dependent on fat as a fuel source.
I'm so excited for you Keith. You and I have the same 🤪 metabolism and I am a 5'7" 150 pound woman. I guess I need to end my eating window by 3pm. Noon to 3, here I come. Thanks you two 😘
Watching this video would have saved me all the experimentation 😅😅😅 I have been checking my ketone regularly and yes also found that my ketones drop with exercise.
my metabolism is like Keith’s. Every time I get disheartened with the journey I come back and watch these conversations to feel a bit better so as to remind myself that it is still possible to make progress…
Could it be that ketones are lower because you are using them, just thinking 🤠
It makes sense that your ketones decreased after exercise since you used ketones for energy during your workout. They will increase once you eat .
Btw, I believe Keith won this time! I’m so happy that you’re in ketosis.
I use Keto Mojo and never compared meters but I find Ketone results consistent but Glucose results can vary widely. Like today: Glucose reads 114 then 5 min later or as long as it takes to open the foil pkgs it reads 95 ~ Ketones 1.0 and 1.1. ~ this was late AM before eating and typical of that time. ~ Usually gets better during the day. Either my glucose radically changes or there is a meter accuracy issue. I am confused. 🤔
Don't you also burn free fatty acids for energy as well?
Great video! I'd be interested in knowing how exercise will impact your lipid panel (exercise hours before the blood is drawn). I've been told to refrain from exercising before my next blood test and I wonder what it can do...Thanks!
one of your best videos. I will have my patients watch this
Interesting. I wish you had done glucose testing at the same time to demonstrate any differences between the two meters and support your hypothesis re: higher glucose and lower ketones. I just returned my Precision-Xtra as the disparity between it and the Mojo was consistently greater than 20-40% for glucose and ketones, respectively. As always, thank you for another informative video!!
Finally Keith your ketones Readings aré higher than Becky 👍🏼👍🏼
0.9 you are not in ketosis. That's all people who get carbs. Ketosis is done more than 2
You are both absolutely winners! Love your informative video's and your new book Dr. Becky! Very Detailed and information is layed out in such and easy to read and understand way! Cheers!
Can you guys please test some ketone breath meters? Btw I love the book 👍🏻
Well Keto Mojo sold me a meter a week before changing the strips which forced me to have to go through the trouble of sending in the one I just bought, just so I could get the new one to use with the new strips, since they weren’t selling them anymore. So both went in the trash. A waste of money, but worth it not to support a crappy company. Try getting a hold of their customer service 🤣
So you are upset because Keto Mojo lowered the price of their keto sticks by 20 percent. And they are basically giving away their new meter if the Keto Promo Bundle is purchased. (The kit come with 70 ketone sticks and 70 glucose sticks. [buying these as old strips would cost $90.29.] {cost of the Keto Promo Bundle which also includes the new meter, lancing device and 20 lancets is $90.99}). Remember the future cost of the new sticks is 20 percent lower. The old strips are still available for purchase but why would you. This is a terrific company, driving down the cost of their product by 20 percent. I'm not upset about having to get a new meter, I'm elated.
@@tomfilbey ok. Not quite sure how to respond here....I would have to send in the old meter to get the new one. The old strips are not available on Amazon. The customer service experience has been horrible. And it is not a terrific company. And good for you liking to jump through hoops to get a product that works.
@@mynala110 I admit when I first saw they were moving to new strips, I initially felt some irritation. Then I did the math (as explained in my previous reply) and realized just purchasing the new meter through the Keto Promo Bundle I was no worse off. In fact, I was in a better position because I could purchase sticks at a 20 percent discount in the future. For me, I can buy sticks just as easily from the Keto Mojo website as I can from Amazon. As for sending in the old meter in to get a new one, why bother? I just bought the new one with the Keto Promo Bundle. Let me explain my reasoning. I realized if I continued to use the old meter and bought old sticks, as soon as I bought 71 old ketone sticks and 71 old glucose sticks I'd be worse off so, to me, there was no reason to do anything else but get the new meter. Everybody always complains how expensive the ketone sticks are. Now we have a company lowering the cost by 20 percent and people are mad. It must just be the way I think because I think it is a great thing. BTW, What do you want customer service to do for you? I hope I haven't offended you. It's just I don't understand your position.
I'm fairly new to this. Do you want the keystones low or high?
If your keystones or going lower does that mean you're burning them and you are doing okay or do you want them higher anyhow.
Between 0.5 to 3.0 mmol (millimole) is usually considered nutritional ketosis. That's what most people aim for
Really interesting; is anyone using a continuous ketone monitor?
I wonder how those two compare with blood sugar readings. Have you tested that? I wear a FreeStyle Libre CGM. I don’t think it’s very accurate.
I’m impressed with fat loss not Ketone number, hows the fat loss going Keith?
I often think people get hung up on numbers, trying to hit some target magic figure. That being said, if you are struggling to get your ketones up above 0.5 or whatever, from my experience, if you do a prolonged water only fast of say 4+days, your ketones will eventually got up to around 7. After this, again from my experience, the body switches to fat burning easier and quicker and your average ketones get above 1 quite easily. Just make sure you come off the 4+ days fast the right way because it’s more harmful if you don’t do it right.
Would you consider another meter test and include the new BIOSENSE breath meter? I've heard good things about the BIOSNSE breath meter and would love to see how it fares in one of your scientific comparisons.
Love your podcasts. I commiserate with Keith's struggle. You guys keep me on track and encouraged.
You both win, as you have each other ❤ but Dr. Keith really wins, because he usually has a more difficult time staying in ketosis.
What were Maddie's numbers? ;-)
Thanks for another super informative video.
Congratulations Kieth on your recovery. I enjoy the empathy and your interaction, obvious very happy. I am struggling with high blood sugar (11 - 13mm/mold thruout the day. Have you produced a discussion on this issue?
Well done Keith! I think you win...Thank you both for a great channel. I have been Keto for almost a year, dropped 16 kg and love it! xx from old Jersey (Europe)
I would like to see more information on glucose levels while following keto, I have seen many videos address high glucose levels and how to lower them but not finding information on when you have low glucose numbers, what's too low, is there a too low and is it even a concern. I tried to do a 36 hour fast after eating OMAD for months and doing keto for years but my glucose level dropped to 45, ketones were 3.8 so I broke my fast and ate not knowing if I should be concerned or not. I have felt so fatigued and tired, also having stomach issues and just can't seem to get back to my normal of feeling great with lots of energy as I have always felt doing keto.
Hi Becky, I’m 130 lbs on the carnivore-high fat diet now. How much protein or fat do I need to eat to lose weight? Thanks Mariah ;)
You are both winners in my book! I love all your content; everything is so well researched and presented with such clarity. I have learned a lot about how to live a healthy keto / low carb life. (And Maddie appearances are just icing on the cake! 🐶❤️) Thanks!
Since you have the new meter could you track your glucose and ketones in a future video? I exercise in the AM usually fasted but lately my blood sugar has been very high after exercise.
Maddie(sp?) Is slimming down too!!! It would be nice to hear an update on her! Currently transitioning pets on to a raw food diet. Love this comparison!
I had a keto coach got rid of it I got the keto mojo my readings are a little different and a Testament blood sugar but I don't think it's good to test every day because yesterday I tested I was in ketosis today only 0.2
Interesting findings, although it's not quite an apples to apples comparison, which can not be avoided. But it is interesting to see the difference between men and women. So I can't say it was a fair race
🤣congrats Dr Keith!
Everyone is so different! Exercising while fasted gets me the highest ketone numbers all day for me. I exercise at 9am 3 times a week.
I am almost done with my original keto mojo strips and apparently need a new meter. Has anyone used the breathalyzer type meters?
What effect does ketone numbers make? Do we get more weight loss with higher ketone numbers? Can they go too high?
You are both Winners. Thank you for the content, Becky with the good hair
New subscriber 🙂 love the info
As always, you are both a wealth of information. Thank you
Today I tested my ketones @ 12 p.m. on Keto Mojo and the reading was 4.3. I exercised @ 5 a.m. and I fasted 18 hours. Is that # too high? I usually test around 1.4-1.6.
If you're not diabetic then ketones high is good
Thank you. When would be the best time for me to use a keto stick - when I wake up, before or after a meal, or just before bed? I don't have a weight scale because I would be on it like furniture and would be disappointed if it hadn't move. Pretty much the same for a tape measure. I cannot afford a ketone meter yet. I did pick up some sticks and I am good about not using them every time I go to the bathroom. I just need to know when is the best time to use them.
I heard that once you have become fat adapted that the urine strips are no longer any good to you for use. The blood meter or the breath meter are better choices, so I heard 🎈
Thanks so much! Always good info
Great information! Thank you.
Thank you for the video.
Way to go Dr K. Nice shorter hair Dr B. 😁
As always great info thank you
Thanks guys . Have a Blessed Day
Fantastic research, thanks!!
Love you guys.
Woohoo Dr. Keith! You go guy.
I have a new label for your website: "Two Fit Human Lab Rats" 😁 Great test, analysis and discussion. Thank you!
I've done a similar comparison, it's very interesting. My thought is as long as whichever monitor is consistent, then that's helpful. Some monitors definitely read lower than others but I view it as a data point instead of a precise measurement =)
Keith! Wow, I bet you felt wonderful. You both look great as usual!
