My ketone levels don't make sense. What's going on?
I'm on a low carb/high fat diet and am trying to be in nutritional ketosis. I had my ketone levels measured at the end of November and was at 0.6 mmol/L.
On Christmas Day I received a ketone blood meter as a gift. I also decided on that day to eat some carbs and sweet desserts as it was Christmas.
The day after Christmas I measured my ketones and was at 0.2 mmol/L. I thought this was to be expected as I had eaten some carbs the day before.
However, for the last five days I have been very good at what I've eaten and thought I'd be back to at least the 0.6 level, but when I measured myself I was still at 0.2 mmol/L.
Can anyone help me to understand what's going on?
