    In terms of accuracy from the research I did...
    1. Blood testing
    2. Urine testing
    3. Breath testing

    NOOOOOOO

    peanut oil is full of omega 6 fatty acids. Use literally any other high temp cooking oil or ghee

    Ghee is expensive af and there was only 2 tubs at Target. If I buy an actual fryer what should I use?

    Ghee is stupid easy to make. Takes like 15 minutes tops.

    Full disclosure I like to cook. I realize not everyone does.

    Are you referring to frying things still?

    I had read natural Peanut Butter is great for keto?

    peanuts are the nuts for peasants. Stick to almond or cashew butter. As for frying - make some ghee or use coconut or avocado oil

    Lol I just go with whats low in carbs/sugar and tastes good. I thought natural Peanut Butter was just fine (See here: https://ketoconcern.com/keto-peanut-butter/ ) but if almond or cashew butter is better then fine. If I try them and they taste like dirt...I'm coming at ya :blount:

    almond butter tastes a bit different than peanut butter but I like it. Can’t personally vouch for cashew butter but I like cashew milk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    It’s a fryer without the oil. Quick easy and little clean up. Delicious

    So do you personally just not like natural Peanut Butter or do you think there is something legitimately not ideal with it when trying to get into/maintain ketosis?

    I don’t like peanuts in relation to other nuts. Almonds, cashews and macadamia nuts are all better for keto (and overall)

    Went boating for several hours yesterday. Only had 3 vodka diet ginger ales and 2 Mich Ultras. At the restaurant I had double cheeseburger with no bun. Also had a few oysters. Was running late this morning so forgot to check my Ketone levels.

    What level do you want your ketones to be in for urine test? Everything I see online is related to blood.

    I've been about an 8 on the urine ketone test.

    5 days in and down 5 pounds of likely water. Haven't missed carbs at all. However, had to walk past the office kitchen to fresh cuban pastries this morning. That was definitely tough.

    Urine is not the most accurate method to measure because there can be a lot of variance dependent upon how hydrated you are.

    Anything over 3 is considered ketosis but like others have said urine isn’t the most accurate.

    i was reading about this a few days ago, i got the impression that peanut oil is less-than-ideal in terms of omega-6 but is not at the extreme end. it isn't an 'avoid at all costs' type thing.

    avacado oil is supposedly a good substitute for peanut oil, its just crazy expensive in comparison. i just bought some to replace my peanut oil, yesterday, haven't used it yet.

    i also got the impression that there's a lot of conflicting information out there on the subject of dietary fats. there's more than one type of omega-6, which complicates things as well.

    If you don’t like their fried chicken then you just don’t like fried chicken.

    Been busy and forgot to get lunch. Thinking about running to Popeyes. Was thinking about going for the 5 piece blackened tenders with the regular green beans.

    I think the green beans are a no no.

    Edit: completely wrong. They’re the only side recommended.
