WHEN AND HOW OFTEN SHOULD THE KETOSIS TEST
BE PERFORMED?
Directly in the morning after getting up, the ketone bo-
dies are usually relatively low. This is due to the natural
increase in cortisol and the associated rise in blood su-
gar. Therefore, the best time to take the test is later in
the morning, or at least before you have had breakfast.
The frequency is at individual discretion. Note: In the
case of ketoadapted athletes, a very strong increase in
blood sugar is often noticeable after training.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MEASURING KETOSIS?
Ketosis is a form of nutrition and not necessarily a diet,
although it can also be done as a diet. Many people use
ketosis because of its many benefits. However, these
only occur when the body produces enough ketone bo-
dies. Ketosis is measured when you want to achieve the
following benefits:
» Overweight people lose a lot of weight.
» Diabetics benefit from greatly improved blood sugar
control and can often even stop taking their medi-
cation.
» Epileptics experience a strong reduction in epileptic
seizures
» Concentration increases, fatigue phases are redu-
ced and endurance during sports is increased.
» Due to a higher production of endorphins you are in
a better mood.
» Hunger and appetite are reduced.
