Product Information

So how will you know when you’ve gotten to a fat-burning state and can begin to reap the health benefits of burning ketone bodies for fuel? Your body offers clear signs of ketosis along the way. Some are welcomed (Hello, weight loss, lower blood sugar levels—i.e. blood glucose levels, and reduced bloating!), others are more challenging (Can you say “ keto flu ”?). All are signs that your body is making the transition from relying on glucose (carbs/sugar) for energy to using ketones (fat and fat stores) for fuel. The easiest and most accurate way to confirm you’re in ketosis is to test your ketones using a blood ketone meter . You’re in ketosis once your blood ketone levels are at or above 0.5 mmol/L. Once your body converts to using ketones for fuel, your ketone levels may go down some from the initial rise. This doesn’t mean you aren’t in ketosis. As long as your ketones are registering 0.5 mmol/L or higher, your body is still being programmed to burn fat and stay in ketosis!

Does exercise affect ketone levels? Yes, but the effects differ from one person to the next. Still, generally speaking, anaerobic exercise (usually short duration and high intensity, like heavy weight training, sprinting, or jumping) will decrease circulating ketones, cause blood glucose to go up slightly, and cause ketones to temporarily go down. With aerobic exercises, such as swimming, walking, jogging, and cycling, you’ll generally notice an increase in circulating ketones. Does this mean you do not want to do anaerobic exercise while on a ketogenic diet? Absolutely not! Watching your ketone levels will help you understand how your body responds to various foods and activities, and knowing how your body responds will help you adjust your nutrition and food choices to properly fuel your body and maintain optimal ketone levels. A Word of Warning You pulled away your finger/blood before the meter began counting down. To remedy, try again with a new strip and don’t pull your finger away until the meter begins counting down. Researchers split 25 young men into two diets – keto and high-carb – then had both groups resistance train for 11 weeks. The results were interesting. The keto dieters not only had greater reductions in fat mass, but also had significant bumps in total testosterone.NEXT GENERATION METER WITH THE MOST ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY including Bluetooth integration.

But women depend on testosterone too. Suprisingly enough, testosterone is the most abundant sex hormone in the female body—even moreso than estrogen levels! Exercise is another big one. Both weight training and high intensity interval training (HIIT) have been shown to boost testosterone levels. Bluetooth 4.2 technology for connectivity with the Keto-Mojo Classic app compatible with iOS (version 12.0 and above) and Android (version 6 and above). When starting a keto diet, pretty much everyone gets focused on their ketone levels. It makes sense. They are concrete measurements of progress and most of us are goal-oriented. But we can’t tell you how many people we’ve spoken to who wanted to give up because they weren’t where they thought they “should be” early on. So, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Instead, let’s explore ketone levels for ketosis with an eye on learning what they are and what they mean, so you can understand what optimal levels are based on your goals. But first, a brief PSA: the following information is not meant to be substituted for medical advice, nor does it apply if you have type 1 diabetes. If you have type 1 diabetes or other serious medical conditions, you should work with your healthcare provider to determine your goals and ideal diet. Understanding Ketone Levels Men have about 15 times more circulating testosterone than females. In fact, many functions of testosterone, such as regulating sperm production, are male-specific.Trouble staying asleep is yet another sign you’re adjusting to the changes that come with ketosis. Studies show you may initially have shorter stages of REM or “dream” sleep on keto. But things should resolve within a couple of weeks. #9. Muscle Cramps Glucose and Ketone control solutions ( NOTE: control ranges are printed on the meter kit box. Keep the box for reference.) If you want to know whether you’re moving into a state of ketosis, look for the following signs. Whether you have some or all of them, they’re indications that you’re on your way to raising your levels of ketones. How Do You Know if You’re in Ketosis? After age 30 or so, testosterone drops significantly with each passing decade. As you might expect, men experience these drops more acutely than women. You’ve heard of the ketogenic diet . It’s a low-carb diet that has you eating about 75 percent of calories from fat. The rest is protein. Carbs are minimized. And yes, early research of the overall health benefits indicates that going keto can raise testosterone.
