- Опубліковано 9 чер 2024
- We tested out the best options of four different kinds of ketone testing monitors. We tested the SiBio Continuous Ketone Monitor, the KetoMojo Blood Ketone and Glucose Monitor, the Biosense Breathalyzer, and the Ketowise Ketone Urine Test Strips. We share how each one was helpful or unhelpful, and which one we ultimately recommend using.

The pee strips are actually measuring excess ketones. So it's a good measure for whether you ARE or are NOT in ketosis, but not good at all for knowing the level of ketones in your blood.
I tried the strips and before dinner it was clearly in the small to moderate range but about 1.5 hours later I measured again it just gave me some light brownish color that's hard to tell which range it's in. so I'm not sure how to interpret that data 😅
It tracks ketosis well only at the BEGINNING of your keto journey, is what everyone on podcasts says.
I guess this means for a few weeks. Later the body is using all ketones and not secreting them, therefore then we need something more accurate like blood test.
@@LorettaBangBang Fair point, but it's not just a few weeks. It can take years to become fully fat adapted. I've been eating keto for 1,5 years now and I still see ketones on my strips. I've kicked myself out of ketosis a few times to be fair but nevertheless it's helpful for everyday tracking.
Once you really get the hang of it you won't need to track coz you'll just know how your body feels when you are in ketosis. But I actually think that the strips will never truly show negative ketones because your body will always produce a little extra just to be safe. It isn't a perfect machine after all.
Pee strips actually measure the acetone and the blood strips measure BHB.
Very comprehensive work Lauren ! Thank you. 😊
Wow that's awesome you're trying keto!! I've been on keto for 8 years. It's so helpful for soooo many reasons. Especially mental health.
This was fabulous! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for all you do.
Great video! Your favorite is the one I was hoping (keto mojo)! That's what I rely on and trust and now I don't have to get the other ones. I did try some breathalyzer called ketonix, but I couldn't figure out how to breathe to get any accurate reading lol! And I always learn something from your videos - thank you! 😃
New subscriber. Like your videos about the different voices personality. Would be awesome to hear more.
Go back. She has been online for many years now!! Tons of material.
Abott is working on a continuous glucose and ketone monitor in 1 device. A cgkm? My guess is it will be fairly accurate and insurance will cover it, at least for diabetics. Hopefully it will be released this year.
Very actionable. Thank you. Headed to Keto MoJo now.
thank you Lauren, I use the blood ketone strips on a regular basis, although I find purchasing the strips very expensive long term so will hopefully be able to use them less at some point...
You might want to try the Acetrack breath acetone monitor. I had the same problem with my Biosense and the Acetrack will show you acetone readings over 40. Otherwise I still prick daily with ketomojo myself. Thanks for the video!
I use the keto mojo and I really like it.
Thanks!
Keto Mojo is shipping to Canada now as well.
Can you use generic glucose and ketone strips with this device?
I use the sibio ckm and I’ve tested for two weeks with ketomojo. In my tests actually Sibio ckm was extremely accurate, only 0.1mmols +/- differed from ketomojo. Perhaps yours might have an issue
Did you ask what dr palmer has used on his patients? If 1.5 + is the number to get consistently for 2 months then i want to test to see if what im doing is spot on, then im good to carry on! Saw your video so i thought id ask. You look great btw. Thank you
Is it safe to drink diet soda if you're in a condition?
soda's are bad for ones health, and on keto you r not allowed to eat sugar.
@@jeanpaultongeren125 the question was about "diet soda," which doesn't usually contain sugar.
I just bought a breathalyzer. It was only $39. So I thought it would be a cheap way to start measuring my Ketones. Not too big on pricking my finger, so I'll have to pass on the others.
Which device did you buy?
@Irishrose777 I got mine off of Amazon. It was just called "Ketone Meter". It works well.

For some reason my replies keep disappearing. Anyway, it's called "Ketone Meter".
I’m extremely surprised that you have 4.0 mmol/lt as your ketone levels. I could go max 0.8 eventhough I’m trying very hard to follow a ketogenic diet.
Is it truly needed ?? Sensor this, tracking that ..
- I am also switching to carnivore/keto, but I am taking it *MUCH* more relaxed.
Goal: 20 gr carbon-hydrates a day, max. What it really boils down to how honest you are to yourself, and how stringent you decide to be :ø)
She's doing *medical* keto combined with other metabolic therapies, which is VERY different from regular keto. She's also doing it under the direction/guidance of a medical team. As she references in the video, measuring the exact levels is crucial in maintaining effective *medical* keto.
This is also a dedicated project - she's gathering this data and evaluating the sensors for more reasons than just tracking what level of ketosis she's in. As she says in other videos on this project, the focus is also on providing large amounts of accurate resources and other information about keto.
Also, the Carnivore Diet and Ketogenic Diet are two different diets.
So for a non-medical, "relaxed" ketogenic diet, no, you don't necessarily need to do this tracking, although it is still helpful in various ways. For medical keto, yes, the tracking, and the most accurate tracking possible, is absolutely necessary.
If you haven't watched through her other videos on this project, I highly recommend doing so!
I hope this answered your question well. Please feel free to ask any additional questions!
I can't imagine anyone buying expensive trackers and tracking their "ketone levels" long term. I bet Lauren will not be regularly blowing into those monitors or peeing on those sticks in a year. Humans just don't want to live that way for life unless they absolutely have to, like in the case of type 1 diabetes. There is no reason for anyone who isn't doing any diet for medical reasons (like as an experiment for treating a mental illness), to use monitoring devices beyond their scale.
Whole grains, vegetables and fruit never made anyone obese and denying yourself these healthy foods will not make you healthy. You may lose weight from such a strange diet in the short term, but losing weight at the expense of your long-term health is never wise.
@@mygirldarby Thanks for your input.
I can't see Lauren do all these things long term either, nor can I see myself doing it.
I have friends who has changed to carnivore, and they were like Lauren in the beginning - Expensive apps, tracking equipment, daily measuring, etc.
After some time, they stopped weighing food, entering into apps, etc. (Now, they're just eating 'normally' - just without so many carbs)
Progress takes time, fortunately for me I'm able to feel how my body is doing - but I can relate if there's people out there with no body-feedback who is needing sensors and monitoring to 'see they're progressing'
And oh, am I the only one who would rather buy better meat, than spending a lot of money on test equipment that lasts for 1 week?
You really should mention your affiliation to KetoMojo at the start of the video. Not sure if it's actually the law to do so but it should be. Respectfully it's unethical to present yourself as unbiased when you have a financial incentive to promote on of the subjects of your comparison.
Is the Keto diet having an effect on your voice?
this guy i killed is some how still moving wat should I do 🤔
Your so pretty
Did you ask what dr palmer has used on his patients? If 1.5 + is the number to get consistently for 2 months then i want to test to see if what im doing is spot on, then im good to carry on! Saw your video so i thought id ask. You look great btw. Thank you
Where did you get this 1.5 number I’ve been looking everywhere as to where I should be in terms of mmol
