This was a simple test, what effect would 1 egg and 2 slices of bacon have on my glucose and Keytone levels?
| Date | Time | Glucose (mg/dl) | HCT % | Hb g/dl | Keytone | Dr Boz | GKI | Comments |
| 8/16/2019 | 6:46am | 77 | 36 | 12.2 | 2.0 | 38.5 | 2.1 | 18 hr fast Before test |
| 8:45am | 94 | 44 | 14.9 | 1.8 | 52.2 | 2.9 | 2 hrs after test | |
| 5:30pm | 88 | 44 | 14.9 | 1.6 | 55 | 3.1 | 11 hrs after test |
Dr Boz Ratio:
The Dr Boz Ratio is a value taken from Dr Boz. Details of how the ratio is calculated can be found here. It is calculated using the formula Glucose / Keytone = Dr Boz Ratio.
| Dr Boz Ratio | Effect | Autophagy Indicator |
| Less than 80 | Weight Loss | Might Get Autophagy |
| Less than 40 | Immune System | Solid chance of Autophagy |
| Less than 20 | Cancer Fighting | Best chances for Autophagy |
For this meal, we can see that the Dr Boz ratio started well under the weight loss level, even in the Immune befit level, and then 2 hours after the meal, I was still well below the weight loss level, still possibly in autophagy. And then 11 hours after the test, I was still in weight loss mode.
GKI Ratio:
The GKI Ratio is calculated using the formula here: (Glucose / 18) Keytone = GKI
| GKI | What is means | Application |
| <= 1 | Your’re in the highest therapeutic level of ketosis | Very difficult to acheive without doctor’s supervision. |
| 1-3 | You’re in a high therapeutic level of ketosis | For those using keto therapeutically for the treatment of diseases, such as cancer, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury, and chronic inflammatory disease. |
| 3-6 | You’re in moderate level ketosis. | For those with Type 2 diabetes and obesity, insulin resistance, metabolic or endocrine disorders. |
| 6-9 | You’re in a low level of ketosis | Ideal for weight loss and health maintenance |
| >= 9 | You’re not in ketosis. | N/A |
From the GKI ratio, we can see before the test, I was in in the high therapeutic level of ketosis, ideal for weight loss, and then 2 hours later, I as still within the high therapeutic level. After waking up the following morning, I had dipped into the moderate level
Conclusion:
From this simple test, I can see:
- Eggs and Bacon had very little effect on my Keytone level
- I was always in fat burning mode
- The glucose level increase slightly
- But then came back down within 11 hrs.
I am going to guess, but the higher glucose level and lower keytone level in the morning was probably due to the Dawn Effect.
