I don't know if this makes any sense. But I am on day 2 and already above 100 ketones.

Interesting note, the day before I started CKD, I fasted (about 1,200 cals). I was reading above average ketones my first day.

The fasting might have helped. I don't know as I am certainly not an expert.

I think the fasting helped as you probably lowered your blood sugar. That is one of the indicators your body uses to signal ketone production.

I did a 50gr carb up while in Ketosis for my TKD program and swung my blood sugar from 77 to 139 to 71 in a 2 hour period while training and using r-ala. I then used urine Ketone strips and tested positive around 12:30am. So I basically went out and back into Ketosis in 3 hours.

Anyway, what meter brand and what testing strips are you using to measure your ketones? How much did the meter and your strips cost?
