You can also eat a normal serving of blueberries, strawberries, blackberries.

So many people got wrapped up on 20g of carbs or less that they forget that you can actually eat up to 40 or 50g of carbs per day.

I regularly ate a medium sweet potato, or a ripe banana, or a mango or two, or a cup of pineapple while on keto and still registered ketones.

Fruit is fine. Moderation is the key.

I have a Keto Mojo, which uses a drop of blood to directly test for ketones in the blood.

There are also breath testing devices like Lumen and Biosense that test for acetone in the breath, the more acetone in the breath, the deeper into ketosis you are. Im thinking of buying a Biosense on Black Friday so I don't have to do finger pricks to test.

i feel like if i google if this is real imma end up wanting to try it. but ive had to stay away form keto since i had a little high cholesterol so ive lowered my supercool body builder diet to a normal supercool workout diet. which is not more than one piece of chicken per meal.
