I didn’t measure my PM ketones for two reasons.

1. I don’t think it provides an accurate reflection as to what’s going on in my body since it’s taken so close to when I eat dinner. And since I include coconut oil and other fats in my dinner, that can skew the measurement of ketones since the liver breaks down medium chain triglycerides immediately into ketones. … Read More

Energy Level: Poor
Physical Activity: None

Reviewed the book I’ve been reading, “The Art and Science of Low Carb Performance” and came across something that I didn’t quite sink in the first time. The fact that consuming medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), the kind that I put in my “fat hot chocolate” (grass fed butter and coconut oil), are actually absorbed by the gut pretty quickly, and are processed right away, either being used by muscle cells as fuel or to be converted by the liver into ketones.… Read More

Was tired all day. Slept later than intended last nite because we were out with some friends, and for no reason in particular, my body woke me up at my normal time. Hence the short amount of sleep. Felt sleepy the entire day and took a few small naps.

Good ketone levels. I was a little worried because we ate out today at Din Tai Fung… a chinese food place famous for its juicy pork dumplings. … Read More

Today was a travel day. Woke up earlier than we normally do to run some errands, tidy up the house, and then rush out to the airport.

Weight still within normal variation. A little disappointed with the PM ketones. We were at the airport and I had some BBQ ribs and beef. I’m guessing they were generous with the amount of sugar they placed in the BBQ. … Read More

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
