Strips are ok in the beginning, but they aren't reliable and stop showing anything as you move forward. Blood testing is the more reliable way, with a meter like Keto Mojo.

Strips aren’t reliable. If you really want to track numbers, get a blood ketone meter.

What brand of strips would you recommend for the beginning?

Thanks IBM1 and BA1. Got some strips of Amazon for now. Will look into keto mojo in the future

Sweaty post-workout question. If I finish a bike or run in the heat I am usually just pouring sweat for the next 15 or so mins. So I've gotten into the habit of just putting a towel or yoga mat down on the floor and laying/stretching until I am not going to throw sweat everywhere or step in to the shower and step out still sweating. Is there a better version of this maybe for recovery or even just not wasting time waiting?
