Notes:

Good to see my PM ketones higher. Potential differences today are that my workout was in the evening. The typical time I work out is in the mornings (after my first measurements), and despite the fact that exercise has the potential to raise blood ketones 0.25 – 0.5, that would still put me above a level of 1.… Read More

Day 2 – Nutritional Ketosis

Posted on December 14, 2012January 8, 2017 by BJJ Caveman

Weight: 179.6
AM Ketones: 0.8
PM Ketones: 0.8
AM Blood Glucose:
PM Blood Glucose:
Hours of Sleep: 4.5 hrs
Energy Level: Horrible!
Physical Activity: None

Notes:

Due to unforeseen circumstances I ended staying up later than anticipated and subsequently not getting a good amount of sleep, which pretty much screwed me for the rest of the day. I was pretty much running on empty all day long.

I had originally intended to go to a BJJ class this morning, but given my lack of sleep, I just couldn’t make it… and I stayed in bed for another hour or so.… Read More

Notes:

I’m glad to see that I’m still in the nutritional ketotic range.

I must really starting to benefit from the effects of being ketoadapted. Before going to BJJ this morning I only had 1/3 a cup of protein shake. The workout was pretty vigorous and had me breathing hard at multiple points.

Normally when this happens, I get a headache 2 hours post work out and feel completely drained. … Read More

Nutritional Ketosis

Posted on December 12, 2012October 10, 2014 by BJJ Caveman

I’m currently doing a self experiment where I’m trying to ketoadapt my body and get my blood ketones into a nutritional ketosis range (0.5 – 3.0 mmol).

I’m modeling my experiment after that of Jimmy Moore’s.

My current tools include a Tanita Innerscan digital scale, Precision Xtra Glucometer (which also reads ketone sticks), and Precision Xtra ketone sticks. I just need to get some glucose test strips now.

Things I would like to record include:
