Question Level of Ketosis

I have been in the largest ketosis level according to ketosis testing strips and wondered if perhaps this is too high.

What level of ketosis should one maintain during induction?

Book only says get into it, not how far.

Trace, moderate, large, very large, which one?

Worried about health consequences of too high ketosis.

Thanks

Hi there,

As long as you are drinking plenty of water, it really doesn't matter what level you reach on the stix.
Have a look at the excellent article on Ketosis and Ketone Test Strips in Low Carb Tips, which you'll find on the orange bar at the top of the screen, for more info.

Cheers.

Rosebud
