hi guys I’m here to answer another

question on what is the best way to

check your ketones when you’re first

starting out doing ketosis okay as a

beginner there are three different

methods you can check the urine through

the blood or through the breath and

there’s actually three different types

of ketones and by the way ketones are

the byproduct of fat fuel and your body

likes ketones better than glucose it’s a

more efficient fuel so it just so

happens that each different ketone will

show up in different methods of

assessment for example when you’re

checking for the urine you’re gonna find

this ketone body it’s called if you’re

checking the blood you’re mainly gonna

find this specific ketone and the breath

is going to reveal this ketone alright

so let me just cover the pros and cons

of the urine the pro is that it’s very

inexpensive compared to actually

checking the blood or even the breath

this is actually tested with a device

that cost might be like a hundred

dollars or might be less depending on

what the quality of unit that you get

but it’s a one-time purchase this could

cost anywhere between seven to ten

dollars for a hundred strips this could

be seventy-five to a hundred dollars for

the unit and then you have to buy the

testing strips so it’s a little more

expensive but I do like this starting

out at least just to get your feet wet

because you have the ability to test

yourself through the day and determine

what bumps you out of ketosis with foods

and then you can tell if you’re in very

light ketosis or deep ketosis base and

the color now the problem is when you do

ketosis over a period of time you’re

gonna be utilizing these ketones I mean

think about it for the ketones to be

showing up in the urine those are wasted

fuel particles okay so you’re not

actually using them so as you become

more efficient and you adapt and your

body is using more ketones you’re gonna

see less and less ketones showing up in

urine so it’s good in the beginning but

it’s not good as you get into it okay

the other thing is if you drink too much

water it’ll dilute the urine and it will

affect your results so you wouldn’t

necessarily want to drink a lot of water

and then test yourself okay you want to

probably test yourself maybe an hour

after you drink water that would

be a better measurement okay so this is

a little less accurate but it gives you

a good ballpark figure all right now

let’s talk about the blood this is the

most accurate way to check ketones it’s

a little more expensive because you have

to have the unit and then the testing

strips but you’re testing the type of

ketone that is the most abundant ketone

in the body and I recommend doing this

maybe after you’ve used the testing

strips for the urine for a while let’s

say for example you use this for three

weeks and then you graduate to a device

that you can check with using your blood

the best device that I recommend is

called Keita mojo I’ll put a link down

below I don’t get any Commission’s or

anything from that I’m just I just

recommend it cuz it’s a good company

alright and the last way to check your

ketones is through breath the pro is

that once you buy the device you can

check it over and over and over and you

want to buy any strips urine strips or

blood strips so that’s a really good

benefit the con is that it’s expensive

to buy the device okay and over time

when you do this you’ll see less of this

specific ketones just simply because

your body is utilizing this fuel source

more and more and when this point I just

find interesting is that you know people

have this concept they have to burn off

all these calories of fat to lose weight

but when you get into ketosis

there are ketones coming out of your

breath basically pieces of fat coming

out of your breath and you’re peeing it

out without being burned and you’re

basically doing that by lowering your

carbs so you’re losing weight not

necessarily by burning every single

calorie you’re actually eliminating them

through the breath and the urine which

is another benefit of doing ketosis for

losing weight all right guys that’s my

quick summary I will see in the next
