What do i measure?? Well, every minute my CGM rec I rds blood glucose j watch is most of the day. The bathroom scales get used each morning. I try to avoid my weight from I creeping in the wrong direction. Blood pressure at 1 or 2x a cweek.

I have never measured ketones. Never saw the need. As I am sometimes obsessed with my CGM. Some are obsessed with keytones. Is not very possible to be in ketosis 24/7, nor should u be as i understand it. Also your levels of ketosis are more a function of one's metabolic health.

I usually do not count much of anything either.

Just made a similar reply above.

I checked mine when I first started fasting. I used a ketone meter and couple that information with my blood glucose to get a GKI number.

The ketone meter sort of gave me an idea of how my body was working rather than referencing the charts provided. I was not getting into ketosis as early as I thought being a carnivore and already fat adapted. And I didn't get as deep into ketosis as I thought.

Like int he other post when I taste metal in my mouth/bad breath I'm there but I don't do anything to get there other than water fast.

In the beginning of carnivore as the weight was peeling off I was checking the scale daily, sometimes several times per day. In time the desire to know subsided. The blood glucose and the ketone measurements gave me some understanding of me, and in time the use of those meters faded as well.

As of late, every carnivore conversation ends up with the need to dial the plan up as an individual outweighs the plan for the group, or to reference some study from far away.

I do enjoy reading about the experiences of others as it is knowledge or maybe can be seen as 'one more tool in the shed'.
