You don’t have to buy the brands listed below. Feel free to research and find the one best suited to your needs.
Soft Tape Measure
Unless you are able to simply look in the mirror and know the size of your chest you’ll probably want a tape measure to get an accurate reading.
Food Scale
Measuring your food is an important component of sticking to the Keto Diet. A food scale makes life infinitely easier.
Ketone Test Strips
There are a couple of different ways to test to see if your body is in ketosis. Using Ketone strips, while not the most accurate, are definitely the easiest and cheapest route to go.
