Why You Should Test for Ketones<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For one, If you want to know if your diet is really getting you into ketosis, then measuring ketones is the only way to do so. In addition, measuring ketones during a fast or after exercise can give you an idea of how your body responds to these interventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blood Testing for BHB<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

How is BHB measured in the blood? It involves using a blood glucose or blood ketone meter\u2014what you measure is dependent on the type of strip you insert. Many monitors available allow you to enter blood glucose test <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Urine Testing for AcetoAcetate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Through specific measurement techniques, we can then measure the level of AcAc in the urine and use that as a proxy for how much fat our body is using and how many ketones it\u2019s producing. AcAc is less useful than BHB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breath Testing for Acetone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since we breathe out acetone, we can use special devices in order to measure the amount of acetone in our breath. It\u2019s basically a breathalyzer…but for ketones. Breath ketone testing may also be less accurate measure of whole-body ketone levels than\u00a0BHB<\/p>\n\n\n\n
