What do you use to measure body fat? 

Yeah please let us know how you measure the BF? 

I have a trojan stationary bicycle that I use. But I am eyeing a scale from Tanita, but at the moment it is a bit on the expensive side :-( 

Hi! well done! 

Well done!!!! 

Thanks, getting there slowly 

Hi there Have to ask, please bear with me, what type of blood glucose and ketone device are you using to test your ketone levels? Where did you buy and cost? I see the sticks are quite expensive, therefore please advise how often yu test. Also last but not least, what is your protein and fat intake daily? Thank you very much for your time :-)  

Hi Nell-Marie. No Problem. I use a FreeStyle Optium with Blood B-Ketone strips. I got the meter for free with my 1st Box of Ketone Strips (Shows you how expensive the strips are). The strips I buy every few months as I only check my Ketones once a week when I weigh in (It is just to ensure I am still in Ketosis). If I remember correctly the strips are about R350, and I get them from my local Pharmacy. I try to keep the following balance 75% Fat, 20% Protein & 5% Carbs. My Protein intake I try to keep to the rule of 1g Protein for every 1kg body mass. If you have any Questions let me know.
