Want a better way to test your ketones? Check out the new Keto Mojo! And I am giving away a monitor and 60 test strips. This post contains affiliate links.
Well friends, I am back home and in my kitchen after a whirlwind book tour for The Everyday Ketogenic Kitchen. And while I’ve been cooking up a storm, I am a wee bit behind on recipe development for the blog. In fact, I’ve actually been working on recipes for cookbook number TWO! But shhhhhh, that little project is still under wraps for right now.
So in lieu of a recipe today, I thought I’d tell you about a new keto product that I purchased lately and that I am really happy with. It’s kind of upped the keto game for me and I like it so much, I thought I’d not only review it for you, but give one away as well.
MY LATEST VIDEOS
I recently got my paws on the new Keto Mojo Ketone and Blood Glucose Monitor. And I am loving it!
For the most part, I am quite lazy. And by that I don’t mean that I don’t work hard or exercise hard…because I work insanely hard and I love nothing more than breaking a good sweat. But I do fall into the Lazy Keto category. By which I mean I don’t obsessively track what I eat and I don’t spend inordinate amounts of time calculating my macros. I simply intuitively eat a very low carb, very high fat diet and pretty much hope for the best.
Or at least I used to simply hope for the best. But over the past year or so, I got more interested in knowing how I was actually doing on the keto scale. To that end, I bought some of the urine strips, even though I knew that they were notoriously inaccurate. For a while, they seemed to be pretty reliable, as long as I managed to use them first thing in the morning (and not go to the bathroom in the middle of the night!). I was usually in mild to moderate ketosis, which seemed about right based on what I was eating.
And then they just stopped working altogether. I don’t know if the batch got old, if it was open too long, or what, but suddenly, no matter what I did, my ketones didn’t register at all. I got zero, zip, zilch every time I tested, no matter how on track or off track I ate. Even when I was eating minuscule amounts of carbs…the test strip stayed that disheartening pale shade of tan. I have since discovered that sometimes, when we are well into our keto lives, our body is using this fuel more efficiently and so it stops showing up in our urine. Interesting.
Anyway, through the powers that be (aka Jimmy Moore), I heard of a new product coming out, a new blood ketone/glucose monitor with test strips that weren’t going to cost an arm and a leg. Typically, ketone blood test strips can cost $3 to $4 dollars PER STRIP! And the ones for the Keto Mojo monitor are priced at $1 per strip.
Now….that’s still pretty expensive if you plan to test your ketone levels several times a day. But blood testing for ketones is really the only way to truly know where you stand. I started testing right away when mine arrived and was delighted to discover that despite the negative I was getting on the urine strips, I was a nice solid 2 mmol/L. Moderate ketosis, exactly where I wanted to be.
I actually took mine with me on my book signing tour, because a crazy travel schedule can wreak havoc on one’s diet. I didn’t use it every day, but I checked my ketones every few days, just so I could monitor how I was doing. Since I am used to checking my blood glucose anyway, it was easy to get used to the Keto Mojo monitor. And when I had questions, I just hopped over to the Keto Mojo Facebook page and asked them there. I got almost immediate responses!
Do I think you need a ketone blood monitor? Not necessarily, but it sure is nice to have one. I think they are great for people starting this diet who really need a baseline of how they are doing. And I think it’s really great as a way to check in once in a while and keep tabs on yourself. And if you fall off the wagon and kick yourself out of ketosis, the Keto Mojo is a great way to help you get back on track. In the end, I don’t think anyone needs to test more than once a day, just to see how they are doing. And once you are comfortable with this lifestyle and know what you are doing, you could test as little as once every few days. At that rate…it’s quite reasonable.
To get the Keto Mojo test strips for only $1 per strip, just join the Keto Clarity Club here!
And now, yes, I am giving away a whole Keto Mojo set, sponsored by no one except little old me. Because I really do like this product and will stand behind it with pride! So I am giving away the basic kit that includes the monitor, lancet device and lancets, and 10 ketone strips (valued at $49.95). Then I am going to throw in another vial of 50 ketone strips ($50). Because I want YOU to be successful on your keto journey and I think this product can’t but help!
Oh and if you want to see me actually USE the Keto Mojo monitor, I will be doing a Facebook Live video today sometime around 1pm Pacific. I will post the link here for all to see!
Diane says
I have recently started eating a ket o diet and this monitor would be so helpful to see where I am!!
Caroline Jones says
I’ve only ever used the urine strips as ketone monitoring always seemed prohibitively expensive. This little guy and accompanying strips actually seem reasonable – although winning one would be even better!
Sherrie Scharbrough says
I would love to win this!! I need to check my Ketones to make sure I am ok. Thank you,
I’m not sure if this is to get in the drawing or not but here I am.
Hannah H. says
I haven’t ever tested before!
Barb Forbes says
I would love to try this! I currently track them on a keto app.
Gjeanieg says
This post could not be more timely. We found out just yesterday that my husband is prediabetic. We are in shock. I have been eating low-carb for 12 years and much of what I have learned and done over the past 12 years has rubbed off on him–and of course, he eats what I eat. But, the interesting part is, that God has fully prepared us for this trial: I have been researching keto over the past few months, just out of curiosity. I asked for your new cookbook for my birthday a few weeks ago… But I had NO idea that we would truly need it, and so quickly! Carolyn, I am so thankful for your work.
Caitlin says
I tried the urine test strips but mostly go off how I feel and what I’m logging. I would love to get my hands on this!
Shaveta Suri says
I’ve been on the keto diet for 3 weeks now. I have lost 8 lbs, 6 if it was the 1st week. I test uainf urin strips. But i have heard these are not accurate! Would love to use this! I track my macros and have a hard time keeping under my proteins so I reallyneant to know if I am in ketosis.
Thanks for the opportunity!
Rebecca says
I’ve used the strips, but this looks more accurate.
Susan Fuller says
I would love it!
Shelley says
I have tried using Keto test strips with varying results, so it would be nice to try something that would be more accurate in measuring blood ketones.
Amanda says
This would be awesome to win. I have never tested ketones in this manner and know both my husband and I would love to win this! Thanks for hosting a great giveaway!
Brianna says
I have tested ketones with the urine strips but it seems like there’s a huge margin of error and I never got a solid read on whether I was in ketosis. This kit looks cool!
Amber meiring says
I’ve tested ketones with the urine strips but they no longer shoe any results for me.
Carolyn says
That’s exactly what happened to me…they just quite working.
Kim Garner says
Oh, I would love to win this!
Michele Inclan says
I would love to try it out! Very curious about my blood ketone levels.
Joseph says
Tried the urine strips, was underwhelmed by the information received. Would be interested in testing blood ketones.
Donna says
I’ve only used the urine strips and would be curious to see what the readings are using the meter. I’ve been eating Keto a year and am a slow loser due to age and hormones – at times it’s frustrating when the scale does not move. Makes me wonder if I’m consuming a food product that is stalling me.
Shawanda says
I would love to win. I have used ketone test strips when I first embarked on the Keto lifestyle months ago, but the strips did not work unfortunately.
Becky B says
Yes I test…. occasionally when I feel really good or really crappy and some times when I am just curious. Ketogenic for medical reasons so it’s nice to know.
Joy Johnston says
Would love to win this!
Naomi says
I have never tested my ketone levels since i started my journey 4+ months ago. I am eager to acquire a device on which to track things to better benefit from the Keto lifestyle.
Kathy Shirk says
Very interested in this!
Judy says
Been trying keto, for awhile lost 20lbs, Altho that wasn’t the reason for trying this … have no idea if I’m in keto!

Tamra says
I would love to know if I’m where I should be.
Kristie says
I use the urine strips but mainly to check for dehydration. Would love a blood meter!

Penny Reveile says
Just love your recipes & encouragement!
Karen says
I would love to try this.
Kelli says
This would be an absolute blessing. I get so discouraged using the strips. I am new to the keto Journey and would love to see success. I love your blog thank you!
Danielle says
I use urine strips but am very skeptical of the quality of my results. I’ve been contemplating a switch over to blood testing and the keto mojo is getting great reviews!
Danielle says
I have never tested my Ketones before but now that I am trying to live a healthier lifestyle I would like to be more aware.
Teresa Lance says
Excited to see this opportunity that makes testing ketones more affordable! I like know where I am as far as ketones, especially when I am targeting specific goals. Thanks for connecting with this company and making the giveaway a possibility for someone, Carolyn!
Betty says
I’ve tested my blood ketones before, but had to stop as the strips were way too expensive!
Lara says
This would be perfect!
Megan McM says
Cool product. I think based on your carb intake your body is using all the ketones it is producing and that is great!
Jenny says
I have only used the urine strips.
Becca says
I love your site and I’ve recently been reading lots about the mojo. I’d love to try it!
Rachel Brill says
I’m in the same boat as you are. Primarily keto since 2011, I now find the pee strips to be totally useless. I certainly wouldn’t mind something much more accurate such as this!
Krystal says
Yes, I have tested ketones using a meter before and loved having that information handy. The test strips became cost prohibitive though. Then I lost everything in a disaster last year. Love that something more affordable has hit the market
Carolyn says
I am so sorry for the loss!
Colleen says
I’m just starting and using the urine test strips. They seem to be working (and the food plan is DEFINITELY working) but I am curious about blood monitoring.
Niki says
I have only used the urine test strips. I am excited to try this route!

I have never tested before. But I’m just starting this diet and I believe this would help. I’ve been looking at Facebook posts and reading up on it. This device It’s so interesting.
Kim Huber says
I would love this!
Deborah M. says
I have been looking at starting a Keto diet, but was concerned that I would not do it right. This would really help me so I could test my levels and know that I am doing it correctly.
Melinda says
I have only used the urine strips, and want to try this!
Anita H says
I feel this would be much more accurate than strips, my strips are always outdated it seems.
Allison says
I’ve used the strips and sometimes they work and other times not so much lol.
Nancy Anderson says
No. ..but I’ve been seen it!love to try iy
Leslie says
No I have not as the strips are not the best. This would be great to try out.
James says
I’ve never tested, but always been curious. I’d love to try this out.
Jennifer says
Used the keto urine stick back when I started my keto lifestyle, but once fully keto adapted, the urine sticks no longer registered ketones in my urine. Would love this kit!
Carolyn says
Exactly what happened to me!
Jenna P says
I’ve never tested my blood ketone levels. I would love to try. I’ve strayed far from the keto life. I need to get back on track.
Jan says
I have not tested my ketones, but then I have fallen off the wagon and am now back at it, so this would be a great way to see if I’m reaching ketosis. Thanks for this give away!
Leanne Dunn says
I’ve been looking at this monitor and would love to win one.
Tana says
I have never used blood to test ketones but have used the urine strips. I would love to try the blood testing method!
JulyMommy says
A more affordable option for a keto meter is great news. Would love to test it out!
Shannon says
Oooh, I’d love one of these. The scale makes me crazy, but this would be a way to gauge how I’m doing. Thanks for the chance, Carolyn!
Shannon says
I love the keto lifestyles and check my ketones daily. Seems this would be helpful!!
Victoria says
Yes, I have tested but stopped because of the costs. This would be wonderful!
Erica says
I have been using the diastix till now to test ketones. Would love to know more details using blood.
Diana Coogan says
I’ve never used anything other than the urine strips to test for ketones. Thank you for the chance to win and for sharing all of your amazing recipes!
Emily says
I’ve never tested ketones, but I’ve been eyeing this meter for a while!
Mikell says
I would love to try one of these! I’ve been looking at buying one but the cost always seems so high, however I have benn wanting to be better at monitoring this WOE. Winning one would be awesome!
Christine Mayfield says
No I have not, but I really want to.
Karen Johnston says
I’ve used the urine strips but I’d love to have one like this!!
Beth says
I have never tested before but would be interested to see if it helps.
BTW, I love your new book and have purchased 2 so far. Gave one to a
friend for her Birthday. She loved it :))
Carolyn says
Thank you, Beth!
Liza says
No, I’ve never tested, but I”m curious.
Kimberly says
Only ever used the urine test strips.
Jaime says
I haven’t tried the blood ketones test. Only the urine one.
Joanna says
Just started Keto. Feeling great after only 5 days!
Donna says
I have been doing Keto for the last 4 months with great results (mostly). I would love to be able to test my Keto levels to know when my body is in ketosis as I have times when I plateau. This would be extremely beneficial to keep me on track!
Barb says
I have used the urine test strips before, but stopped when I heard how inaccurate they were. I’m struggling to come back to keto after losing 50 pounds three years ago, then falling off the wagon for the past year. I’ve been doing well, sticking to under 20 carbs a day, but not losing much at all for the last month. This may help me figure out why.
Karey B says
I have been wanting to try testing blood ketones, but I am nervous to poke myself, lol! I still want to try the Kei Mojo because it would be much more reliable than the Ketonix I have, which is not consistent at all! The urine strips, as you said, aren’t very accurate either. Like you, I eat an intuitive/lazy keto diet & it would be nice to know if I’m in ketosis for sure. 🙂
Marilyn Hentz says
Have been really wanting to try these. Husband and I have been doing Keto for 1 1/2 years – he has lot 50 lbs. and me 35. But we’ve been at a stall for awhile now and think these test strips would be very helpful.
Sonya Edwards says
I haven’t used a monitor before but I’ve used using strips but I know they are not always accurate after Ketosis. I would love to have a monitor but haven’t purchased one due to the cost :-/ what an awesome opportunity to own one.
Julie atkins says
Yes but the strips were too expensive.
Carrie says
I’ve had a lot of trouble really telling if I’m in actual ketosis! This would be amazing!! Thank you for this offer, I Loooveee your recipes!
Mailisha Chesney says
I have been having a super-hard time sticking with keto and a huge part of it has been figuring out a sustainable way for me to monitor my macros and get the feedback of Am I? or Aren’t I? actually in ketosis. I imagine that using this monitor would be quite helpful to see where I am each day. I hope I win it! 8^)
Mali says
This sounds really good! I would love to try it ?
Rachel says
I have wanted one of these for Soooooo Long.
Good luck to everyone! Keto on.
Marybeth Nedley says
I test ketones about twice to 3x’s per day to make sure my diet is ok, I’m insulin resistant so I also check cpl times per day to make sure my protein intake isn’t too high. I’m an RN so that makes me numbers crazy! Love your new book, am on preorder for the next one and follow you on instagram. You’re awesome
Sandy says
What a FAVULOUS giveaway!!! Thank you so much! I haven’t tried blood testing my ketones yet (been keto for ALMOST 2 years) but would love to be able to. It’s just not been cost effective UNTIL NOW! Thanks again…fingers crossed!!!
Sandy says
lol…I meant FABULOUS 🙂
Cheryl Hulme says
I would love to try this!
Sharon R says
I have used the strips before, and like you somedays it registers zilch even though I know I’m eating right. Having this kit would be so helpful. Thanks for doing this give away.
Jonnie says
I have used the urine strips out of curiosity but have never tested my blood for ketones before.
Melissa says
This sounds interesting, would love to try.
Michelle says
I have only tested with the urine strips.
Cheryl R says
I have never tested but would really like to try this. Thanks.
Angela says
I tend to be lazy keto too! I’ve tried the urine strips but they do not seem accurate for me either. I would love to try this to get a better idea of any adjustments I need to make.
Whitney says
I’ve only ever used the Uribe strips and since being on Keto for over 6 months….it doesn’t show my ketones anymore ? so I would love a more accurate way to check!
Indira W says
I’d love to be able to track my progress. Thank you for this chance!
Julie Lazarus says
No I have never tested ketones before, it would be interesting to find out
Cheryl says
I would love to have this!
Tricia Stafford says
I do test! Thanks for the info on this product!
Alicia Raulerson says
Just the urine strips testing…never blood testing.
Melissa says
I’ve been working really hard on staying low carb. I just feel way better when I’m on track. Just started getting into the keto part, so this would be great to have!
Amy wagner says
I’ve tested with urine ketone strips before. Just made you zucchini spice cake into muffins. They AMAZING! Tonight for dinner we are having the deep fried brussel sprouts and the garlic Parmesan spaghetti squash with BeLizean stew chicken – instant pot! Woohoo
Carla says
I’ve tried the keto diet successfully before but went on vacation and all my efforts were down the drain. I really need something to help dive in the keto world again!!! This kit looks like it’s the push I need!
Roxy says
Hi,
I lived in the Philippines, but been doing Keto lifestyle for quite awhile now. We don’t have access to ketones tool measurement, I only see most of this in the US, buying from here costs too much too. This would be a great tool, specially if you’re allowing cheat days, and you need to kick back to keto.
Lindsay says
I didn’t even know this was a thing!?! It would be very easy and awsome! It’s amazing the tools that are out there that can help people live healthier, happier lives!
Brenda K says
I have been following the Keto diet (off and on) for the past year. Recently I made a commitment to follow it as a lifestyle, I bought your cookbook and simply love it! It’s so easy to follow and you take all the work out of cooking by using everyday ingredients that I can find in the store. I have NOT tested for Keto numbers, so this would be great in helping me to find my ‘sweet spot’ in the Keto lifestyle. Thanks for all you do Carolyn!
Erin says
I’ve never used a blood test monitor but would love to see how different foods affect me, and also be able to play with the carb level and see what I can tolerate while remaining in ketosis!
Kimberly Funk says
I have used the strips at my nutritionist’s office. Having this at home would be lovely!
Karen says
The “ARness” in me, would LOVE to keep track of my Keto numbers. What an easy, tangible way to keep yourself on track. I’m all in! =))
Shelly says
This looks interesting.
Nita says
I would LOVE to win the monitor & test strips, & begin my keto journey! Thank you for the opportunity to win.
Danny Lineham says
I used the ketostix for a while, several years ago, but, I found, as others have, that they were or became unreliable. Would love to have a way to test that tells me if I actually am in ketosis.
Gabrielle Dean says
Thank you for caring about us and doing this giveaway!!!
Angela says
I have never tested my ketones, but would love to!! I think it would help me understand how I’m doing… Thanks!!
Pamela says
What an awesome giveaway. I looked at purchasing this previously. I opted for the ketonix bc it ongoing cost of the strips but found it didn’t work well for me and sent it back. I would love to win this! To this point I am still using strips (been Keto over 6 months), and they work for me, but I know they don’t always work for everyone.
Laura Hofstetter says
I would love this! So much better than using the urine sticks!!
Megan says
I’ve done the urine strips only. This gadget looks amazing!
Lisa says
I’d love to try this! Wanting to learn more bc my dad has diabetes!
Mic says
I think this would be a good product. I’ve tested urine in the past but hydration can throw that off.
Sherry Corson says
I’m a cancer survivor and believe the keto diet is keeping me healthy! I haven’t done keto testing as it looked prohibitively expensive to do it right.
Diana Babcock says
This will be great to try. Thank you
Lindsay VanAcker says
I would love one of these. I have tested my ketone levels once using my mom’s blood testing kit. It would be awesome to have one of my own so I can monitor my progress. I am also interested how things like almond flour and alcohol affect my ketosis. Thanks for all you do!
Lindsey says
I’ve never tested my ketones before, but I also do lazy keto and it would be nice to know how I was actually doing.
Carla says
I have used test strips for urine before, but not a blood test.
Stephanie KL says
I haven’t used a ketone monitor before as I’ve always gone by the way I felt but have been thinking more about being in ketosis. It would definitely be nice to know where my level is.
Sarah says
I haven’t ever tested before because of the cost. This looks awesome!
Becky says
Because of cost I’ve not been able to test. I’m so grateful for a chance to win.
Camille says
I have tested my ketones before but I feel like the strips cost too much money to just test when I want to. I wish I could test once a week. Maybe I should do every other week… if I had a monitor and strips given to me I would definitely save every strip and use them sparingly like I’m doing now!
Joy says
What a great idea! I have tested my ketones on and off for years, but with the expense, I don’t do it very often. I’ll have to check out this new lower cost option!
Becky says
Just starting on this journey as in today is Day 4. I’ve never tested. I have your book order from Amazon. Can’t wait to make some of your delicious recipes.
Carolyn says
Thank you!
Kari says
I haven’t tried any way to monitor my progress yet. I just started this journey.
Kathryn says
Just starting Ket o diet to help with Fibromyalgia, this would be great to keep track of diet. Would like to win one!!!
Kay Matsumoto says
I love your blog and recipes. You inspire me to cook and try new things. I recently purchased your new cookbook and can’t wait to try the recipes.
Sandy H says
I’ve tried the urine strips. The results were the same everyday! Frustrating!
Rosa says
We used the sticks when we first started keto. Then we got a Ketonix, but unfortunately it’s a pain lol. So I would love to try this meter!
Stacy Vincent says
I have not tested by ketones before, but I think it is a great idea.
Julie says
This would be great to check your levels!
Kristen Martinez says
I have only tested with urine strips but not really sure how to tell I’m in a good ketone level. I would love to test using blood. This giveaway is wonderful! Thank you for the opportunity .
Sabrina Miller says
Thanks for all you do! You book and recipes are AMAZING and I love the videos posted on Facebook! I would love to try this ketone meter!
Isis says
I’ve tested for ketones for medical reasons (I’m a type 1 diabetic); never tried it to “double-check” my low-carb diet, though. Sounds fun!
Rhonda says
I’ve never tried Ketone testing before, but would definitely like to try. Currently I’m testing my blood sugar levels both AM before eating and PM an hour after dinner. Even tho’ I’m not considered diabetic, or even pre-diabetic, I have too much circulating blood sugar. Also, I very rarely feel that I’m in ketosis. Don’t know if it’s a metabolism thing, age, pancreas issues or what. My naturopath and I are trying to get to the bottom of it. This might give us a little more insight into what’s going on.
Liz Waldo says
I have only tested in the very beginning of my keto journey 8 months ago. I keep checking this out and am super interested.
Ashley Goodman says
I would love to use this to keep track of my progress! I have tested my ketones before, but the monitor I have is really costly for the strips, and I haven’t used it in a while because it seemed really inconsistent, making me question its accuracy. Mainly I go off of how I feel. I have been keto for a little over a year, lost 67lbs, and pretty much got rid of all my PCOS symptoms except I’m still trying to overcome infertility! My hubby and I have been trying for 4 years. Your blog, recipes, and now your cookbooks have been vital to my success! Thanks Carolyn for all your hard work and dedication, and for doing giveaways out of the goodness of your own heart!
Carolyn says
I am sorry you are still struggling with infertility, Ashley. That’s really tough. It’s not the same but it took 2 years to get pregnant with my first child so I have an inkling how hard and frustrating it can be.
Sheri Polychrones says
Would lobe to have one of these. My husband a nd i are both trying tok stay on track. We both are at risk for diabetes as i staying on the diet a nd being successful is so important. We live the cookbook and ha ‘ve a greedy made several dishes. Love the me to life.
Shannon says
I’m very interested in this tester. I’ve thought about purchasing one but the pricing has put it off. I’m glad to hear you like it, even if I don’t win I may just have to get one! ?
Jan says
I used the urine strips years ago, but have considered getting a monitor for awhile. BTW I have your new book on my wishlist! 🙂
Carolyn says
Thanks, Jan!
Molly says
I would love to own one of these to keep a closer eye on my ketone levels! Just watched your video, hope you get to feeling better, Carolyn!!
Carolyn says
Thank you!
Bethany Wadsworth says
I have never tested my ketones before but am wanting to start! Thank you for doing this review!
Linda says
I have not, but my son and daughter in law have. But they stopped because it was just not easy to use and they were finding that it was not very accurate. But I am so excited to see this. My son is working on his ketones and this would be such a great help
Shannon Ellertson says
I have never tested my blood sugar! I started at 385 and have lost 50lbs in 4 months! I think it would be so helpful 🙂
Donna Medley says
Years ago I used the ketone test strips you test your urine. I would sure love to win the ketone tester. I test for glucose already, like you do. I am a disabled senior like lots of folks and living on fixed (low) income. Spending $50 is a big outlay for people like me. It’s wonderful to have an opportunity to win the beginners start kit. Thanks so much!
Ae says
Would love to have these! Its been a bit of struggle if you are in a country where keto groups, keto products are limitted..
Deborah Henderson says
I have never tested my ketone levels. I’ve been living Keto since early June of this year and have just tried to trust the process and know this is a lifestyle, not something temporary. It would be amazing to actually test from time to time just to have the confidence that I am making the right choices and, you know, science! Thank you for the opportunity and thank you for all you do for those interested!
raquel braun says
I have not tested my Ketones but have started a Keto challenge and everyone is talking about testing!
Mandy Leonard says
I have never tested Ketones before. Been keto since March.
Beth says
I have used a monitor before, I was in Ketosis eventhough the urine strips showed no trace.
Terry says
Would love to try the device. I’ve never tested my ketones. Thank you for all the great recipes!
Kate says
I have never tested for ketones. I love techie stuff….would love to try this.
Barbara L Moreda says
I am looking forward to trying this. I think it would be helpful – especially for days I might be a bit off kilter, just to see how much damage I have done to ketosis.
Nadia says
I would love to get it! Thank you so much!
Priscilla says
I’m new to LCHF/Keto, 2 months. I’ve been thinking about testing myself for ketones. I was going to order the Keto Mojo. I’ve been saving up for it. I’d love to win this!
Rita Knisely says
I have been “stuck” for the last month…thought this would be a great way to keep track of my ketones.. I think this is exactly what I need…trying to become healthier..thank you. Rita
Stephanie says
Would love a reliable way to check ketones and BS. I saw your FB Live and the Mojo looks awesome! Get well soon, Carolyn!
Patricia Conway says
Would be a perfect tool for my keto journey!
Cynthia says
Being new to Keto this would be a way to help me stay on track.
Rebecca says
I want to try the Keto Mojo just to *know* where I register at. Find my baseline. Thanks for the chance to win one!
Jasmine says
I’ve never used ketone strips before but I’d love to try this out! I’ve been doing Keto for a little over a year now without anything like this but now I wanna give it a go! I’m also always googling keto recipes, yours are the ones I go to first! Keto-on girl!♡
Rebecca says
Thank you for offering this giveaway as well as taking the time to do a live demo on facebook. Hope you’re feeling better soon!
Ilana says
Never by blood. I tried the urine strips a couple of times but read that they aren’t accurate so I stopped using them.
Sherri Samuels says
I have only tested for ketones using Ketostix. I would love to be able to test blood ketones and have a more solid understanding about what I need to do to improve my health!
Cathy Riihl says
Someone told me “to just use the pee strips” I think it would be better to use this blood meter!!
Brenda B says
I haven ‘t used one of these yet, but have been thinking about getting one to see if I am on track.
Liane Shadden says
Started with urine test strips then went to blood testing but the darn strips are so expensive. But I love to check periodically to make sure I’m still on track.
Marcia A says
I started the keto woe on July 15,2017 and I have lost 25 pounds and I feel great. I would love to have a monitor to help me track my progress. Thanks for all the help you give to us.
deb says
I have been following a ketogenic diet for about a year and a half. I’ve never tested my ketones, but would love to start.
Marguerite says
Yes, like you I used the pee strips & after a while they seemed to stop working. I have considered getting a blood ketone monitor, even researched them some, but just haven’t done it yet. So thank you for you Facebook review. It was helpful. As I tend to eat more carbs when I travel, having a blood monitor would help me get right back on track.
Karen Johansen says
Years ago I used to buy Keto strips…. Nope Nada… Now get well oxox
Dana says
I bought your cookbook and have made the steak tips and broccoli soup so far – yum! I have followed your blog for a couple years, actually finding it through the diabetes aspect. I have been interested in/tempted by the KETO monitor. It would be great to win it!
Jenny says
I’ve never tested my ketones but I’ve always wanted to! I’d really like this! 🙂
Lyn says
I would love to win this monitor. I have been LCHF for about 16 months and after losing 27kg I’ve been stalled in my weighloss for the past 4 months. I think this could help me to get things moving again as I have another 10 to 15 kg to lose.
Kelly says
I’ve only use the urine strips. LOL. I think using a monitor would be cool but it’s just really pricey.
Heather Bellman says
I haven’t ever because of the cost associated with testing them with an accurate method.
Lynda R says
Using a blood test would be fun and interesting.
Reaching Medicare status this month, I really need to stay on track and keep excess weight off my joints.
Chrissie Young says
You are taking this world by storm Caroline! Thank you for being such a great inspiration to the getting healthy community.
Viv says
I have tested for ketones but did find the strips got old really fast and the cost of strips were prohibitive! My husband and I just finished mortar washing our house and although I kept up with keto meals (a lot of instant pot help) the first week, we then resorted to cheap (unhealthy) take out for the first time since we started keto in 2003. Boy, it was NOT pretty! My husband gained 15# and I won’t get near the scale! We are back on track and feeling so much better. ( We did save a lot doing the work ourselves… our conciliation!)
Vanessa says
I’ve only ever used the urine strips and know those aren’t best. I’m interested in testing my blood ketones to see if I really am in ketosis. I love data too!
sandy says
Have never tested would love to try.
Toni says
I have tested a few times and seem to have troubles getting into ketosis. I always thought I was but turns out I wasn’t! I’d love a meter to be able to make sure I’m getting into ketosis!
Kristen B says
I’ve used the urine strips, but would love to try the blood ketone meter since I hear it is much more accurate!
Jill Dennis says
I have never tested my ketones before but i would love to to know if i’ve made it into ketosis. This sounds like a wonderful and simple to use device!
Di says
I have just started Keto way of eating. I bought your book and I think this would be a great tool to let me know if I am on the right track and keep me on track. I would have no problem purchasing one but I foster 3 children and I don’t have the money at this time. I know that people will say you get paid to foster but I am a family placement and the paperwork got massively messed up and I have been 8 1/2 months waiting for them to straighten it out with no outcome in the foreseeable future – lot to fit into a nutshell but that is why I can’t purchase it at this time. I have tried to use the urine strips but they don’t work all that well for me and I don’t know if it is my body or the strips not working.
I hope you feel better soon… lots of people are getting colds right now and you were around a lot on the book signing tour….. I am enjoying your book very much.. the photography in it is very nice as well. And on the (shhhh) I hope I will be able to get the next one when it happens (but that should be long enough in the future so I can save some…. yes)
Carolyn says
Thank you, Di, for being a foster parent. You are amazing.
Dale says
Yes! Began Keto WOE with husband in June. Tried the regular strips and have had the same experience you did and also have been just assuming we stay in moderate ketosis. It would be great to know for sure how we are doing. Great product and thank you for the giveaway!
jean Marie says
I’ve tested (usually unsuccessfully) with KetoStix but the blood test strips are out of my price range. If they were less than a dollar a piece, I’d be more inclined to do so.
Cheryl g says
I have tested before but only via the strips. This is intriguing
Katie says
I have only used the urine test strips but even on very low carb days (10-15 net carbs) I only ever tested in the low to low moderate range. It would be interesting to see the difference in testing with this monitor. It’s great to see there is finally a monitor that uses somewhat affordable test strips.
Sarah says
I’m interested in using these because I don’t count macros and I have np idea really if I am getting to where I need to be!
Lisa says
I have only used urine strips, would love to win this one
Jentri K says
My husband and I started Keto back in January after hearing about it from my brother who has been doing the Keto diet for about 5 years. Super excited to discover your cookbook and for this journey my husband and I are on.
Kelly H says
I have to check my ketones for medical reasons (migraines and narcolepsy) so this would be a huge help!
Angel says
I have had a lot of stress lately and would like to be able to see how it is affecting my ketosis, especially since the scale is definitely not my friend right now.
Tanya says
I’ve only tested with keto stix. Would love to use a blood monitor to test.
Stephanie Mewbourn says
I am new to Keto, but I’m super intrigued of its benefits. I have been using the pee strips as well, and then I read that they aren’t very reliable. I think I need a monitor! ? thanks for doing this giveaway!
Anne says
So excited to see who will win! This could help with my motivation.
Jo says
I’ve been eating low carb for 2 years and lost some weight then I moved to Keto and lost some more and was happier eating that way over all. Lately, I’m guessing the stress of traveling and our daughters wedding and being seriously sick stalled me and can’t figure out how to get back to losing again. Going back to what I had been doing isn’t cutting it now and I’m not sure why. I need to look into a ketone monitor. Thanks for your blog and recipes I use them often.
Doris Litman says
I’ve been attempting to follow keto for awhile, but I’m being pretty lazy and I don’t quite have it down yet. But my glucose has improved. I really want a meter to test ketone because I think it might help me stay on track.
I also just bought your cookbook last night. Yours is the first I’ve come across written by a fellow type 2 diabetic doing keto. So thank you! Looking forward to trying the recipes!
Carolyn says
Thank you, Doris!
Sabrina Cooper says
I haven’t been able to afford a meter but I’ve been eating keto for about 4 months. I sure would love to know if I’m actually in ketosis!
Cyndi says
I have not ever tested my blood ketones. My son dies because he is T1D. I am excited that I have found your blog!!
Cyndi says
Oh my word…. does not dies
Debra Poyda says
What a great addition to add to the Keto lifestyle! would love to win!
Kristin says
No I have not I just started and was thinking of getting something to test it.
Karen Maudlin says
I love your recipes, both in your new book and the recipes on your blog! I’ve been following the Keto lifestyle since July 3rd, but haven’t yet tested my ketone levels. As a public school teacher and a mom of 4 high school aged kids (triplets, plus one), buying a monitor isn’t in the budget. I’d love to be able to monitor my levels.
Megan Evans says
I really would like the Keto mojo. I just started tracking my blood glucose and this would be the next step!
Janice Deceder says
I have not keto tested – this would be a great kick start for me. Thank you, Carolyn, for all that you do!!
Anne says
I have only used the iron strips before with the same results of them not working after a certain point. I thought it was because I forgot to replace the cap one day. I am just starting back into a low carb/ketogenic diwt now that my baby is 4 months old and this would be awesome to use to monitor being in the right zone since I am still going to breastfeed. I know that supply can drop significantly with a low carb diet and I’d hate to lose out on feeding my miracle baby!
Laura B. says
Yes, with the urine strips because they’re more affordable.
Christina says
I have never tested my ketone levels. It would be nice to know if I am on the right track. I don’t chase macros, only keep my carbs low, under 20 total per day, and add fat to everything. I don’t loose weight no matter what I do, but my Blood sugars are down and am off some medications. So…here’s to my fingers are crossed for a win! Lol
Grace Cooper says
I started the kept diet after meeting you in Houston. I jump right in on this past monday. Don’t know exactly what I am doing but I did buy the urine strips and by day 3 I am at a moderate level. I guess that is good. My second dinner included your cauliflower rice mushroom risotto. OH MUY BUENO. Would be wonderful to win this kit.
Carolyn says
Hi Grace…so very glad I could be your inspiration. And that you love the risotto!
Pattie says
Monitoring is important with anything you do, especially on a keto diet.
Niki says
Awesome. Also watched your FB live. Thinking maybe this is what I need to do for my health.
becky stanton says
Wow! Great giveaway! Been wondering if I am actually in ketosis…great review of the product as well.
Soozie says
Urine ketones are notoriously inaccurate. It would be so encouraging to be able to show my patients’ their efforts (with the help of your fabulous book) had paid off and put them into kerosis by measuring their blood ketones with this meter in my office.
Thank you so much for your generosity.
Julie Byers says
No but would love to!
Lynn says
This would be wonderful to have.
Michelle says
I’ve never tried to test blood keytones, this tool will be useful! Would love to win!
Lutrecia Macdonell says
Would be awesome to be able to track…… thanks for all your wonderful recipes and info…..
Cheryl Talarico says
I have only been doing keto for about a month and already I know I will be doing this WOE for the rest of my life. I would like the monitor not only for myself, but also to encourage my daughter in her weight loss quest.
Stacy Inspire says
I purchased the strips to try.
Lora Lee Carver says
I have tested my ketones by urine before but not by blood
Denise Stewart says
I have never tracked ketones in any way but I would love to. Currently, I test my blood sugar a few times a week and often times after eating new foods that are “low carb” just to see how they affect my blood sugar. Thanks for doing the video!
Blanca says
These look great!!! Thank you for sharing your keto knowledge.
Courtney says
4 weeks on Keto Ave I haven’t ever tested my ketone levels
Heather says
I have not tested ketones but do test blood glucose so would be a great addition.
Michele says
I’ve never tested my blood for ketones, but I should since I also tend to fall into lazy keto.
Annette says
Many years ago I used strips to test ketones via urine.
Angela Neibel says
I am so glad you are doing this review.
Marilyn says
Yes. I did when i first adapted and when I’m trying out new food.
Theresa says
I just started my keto journey, have tried the urine strips but not sure about results. The strips don’t seem to change color like they are supposed to, and I’m pretty sure it’s too early to be in ketosis, so this meter would be a nice complement to my blood sugar meter.
I was diagnosed as a diabetic a year ago. I keep my blood sugars low by staying low carb and moderately high fat, it seems to be working as my last A1C was 6.2 and my doctor was thrilled….even more so since I did it all without any medications! 😀
Jane P says
New to Keto tracking. This would be great.
Lee says
I’ve never tested my ketone levels, but this looks so cool!
Devorah says
Fingers crossed i win the Keto Mojo since I am now learning and implementing Keto and am diabetic. It would be nice to test both on one monitor. BTW you are so motivating and wonderful in the skills you provide.
Rhonda says
I’ve used the (I’m forgetting the name of it now of course – the little gizmo you blow into to measure your breath ketones). I found it somewhat helpful though I finally stopped measuring my ketones since I got kind of fixated on my measurements. I decided to take a break for a while and just concentrate on enjoying my food and adapting to my new lifestyle. However, I’ve always heard that blood ketone measurements are the most accurate so I would use this probably a few times a week just to keep track of my process.
Sue says
I have not tested blood ketones yet. I want to though, just haven’t been able to prioritize the purchase of a monitor yet! Maybe I will get lucky and win this one! ? If not then hopefully will be able to purchase a kit soon! ??
pattie says
Very informative. Would love to try this monitor.
Teresa Kohl says
As a beginner I would LOVE one of these to help me learn kerosine better..,,and encourage me when I don’t see results!
Michelle says
I’ve tried the urine strips before with very little success in the first month but after that it’s no good. Thanks for the review on this monitor.
Kelli says
I would love to try this!
Corey King says
I began the Keto lifestyle back in January and started with the urin strips. Now days I can kind of tell when I’m in and when I’m out. I’ve considered purchasing the breath tester. I know the blood test is most accurate. It would be nice to have a test device to monitor ketones because I plan to introduce carbs back into my diet once I hit my target weight and body fat percentage.
Danielle Kane says
I’ve never tested my ketones before but I think I should. Winning this would be a great start
Amy Melby says
I’d love to try a Ketone monitor. I’ve been doing Keto for 10 months and have only been using the urine strips so it would. E great to see where I’m at.
Thanks for the chance to win!
Dorie DePuy says
I never tested my ketones before but would love to.
Jean Lufi says
Love your recipes and information.I have been Low Carb since 2008 but only recently switched to Keto. I think a monitor would help me be sure I am on track. I have used the urine test strips but like many others find them unreliable after a period of time.
brenda says
Thanks for sharing your experience. Feeling good myself but would love to have an actual meter to see levels.
VictoriaN says
I have not ever tested my ketones before, but I would love to try this monitor. As a diabetic, the dual feature would definitely be a plus.
Kelly says
No, but I’d love to try this out
Michele Reader says
I have not tested blood ketones before. I think this would be very helpful, and would give me a good idea of carb levels that are good for my body.
Ashleigh Shortridge says
You are the best. I love how keto is just a natural life style for you and your recipes are amazing! You won’t miss out on anything if you follow these recipes.
Missi says
I started Keto in May 2017. It made a big difference in my MS symptoms. I used urine strips. I would love to be able to do blood ketone test for greater accuracy!
Jesica Buccilli says
I have never tested my ketones but it does intrigue me. I too am a fairly lazy ketoer, but I’m only in my 2nd month so any change for the better, diet wise, is a good one for me.
Debra Lee says
I have test before with the urine strips.
Jean Hufford says
I use the urine strips too. If I don’t win this contest I’m buying one! Thanks Carolyn!!!

Laura Tilton says
I’ve used the urine test strips.
Hannah Gittler says
Its usually just too expensive for me to test! Wish I could!
Michelle Aymond says
I needto start checking this way! I feel when I am in ketosis, yet there is something so gratifying in having “proof”! The urine sticks fail me miserably 90% of the time.
Gerd says
I have tested with strips earlier, but would really like to have this machine. It must be fantastic to use ☺️
Jamie says
I’ve been wanting to try this monitor!
Heather beaudreAu says
I’ve never tested my blood ketone levels before and I’m sooo interested to do so!! It would be great to know some real, accurate numbers
Leanne says
I have tested. I like blood testing to assure myself I’m doing Keto correctly. The strips I would need are so costly so I haven’t tested in a while. This is great! Fingers crossed!
Karrisa M. says
I’ve never done the blood testing. Tried the urine strips but found those to be pretty useless. I’ve been curious to try blood testing.
Linda K says
That sounds like a great freebie! I have used strips before without a whole lot of success.
Jasmin F says
I haven’t tested my ketones with a meter yet, but I’ve always wanted to.
Rhonda says
Only used keto urine sticks… I would love a more accurate way to test for hubby and I.
lilbird says
Ooh! Me! Oh please, oh please, oh please………….
Chanell says
I’ve been keto for nearly two years. Lately I’ve stumbled more than I’d like to admit, I feel like teacking my ketone levels would be a good way to keep me accountable.
Carolyn says
We all stumble. It’s okay!
Sheryl says
I’ve only used urine strips to test. This looks MUCH better than those!
Kelly says
I’ve never tested before, but I’ve been wanting to start. It would help take the guess work out of this
Julie says
Very interested to be able to test and see when you’re on ketosis.
Gwen says
My daughter is planning to begin a ketogenic lifestyle after the completion of her second challenging pregnancy (due in two weeks) and I would love to give this to her to support her progress along the way.
Tracy says
I would love to give a keto monitor a try! Thanks for sponsoring such a great giveaway!
Ana says
Thanks Caroline for so the well explained and yummy recipes on your blog. They make so much easier to follow a cryogenic diet and don’t tell deprived. I would love to win the monitor.
Ana says
I ment to write ketogenic
Maureen says
I have only used the urine sticks in the past and they no longer work for me. I have been reluctant to try the blood monitoring, but I am so inspired by your story. I have 18 lbs left to go to lose 53lbs in 53 weeks at age 53! This might give me the feedback I need to hit that goal.
Loraine says
I’ve tried the urine test strips but I don’t think they are very accurate. I’ve been m looking at the blood test monitors and this one seems excellent! I hope I win! Thank you!
Melissa says
I have tried urine strips, but blood checking would be a great asset to staying in plan!
Tracy says
I find the urine strip are so unreliable, I’d love a blood monitor! I haven’t been able to find any in Canada!
Cory says
I kind of love testing my ketones- there’s this weird tension that builds as the numbers count down and I try to guess where I’m at lol. So far, I’m terribly wrong all the time, ha! Great info to have on this keto journey 🙂
Deirdre says
THIS is exciting. I too never register on urine strips and I always wonder if I am in ketosis. What a great giveaway

I’ve tested my ketones using a meter before, but it’s so expensive! I would love to have this-it’s exciting to have a more affordable option!
Julie says
I love Everyday Ketogenic Kitchen. Would like to win this KetoMojo.
Cecilia says
I haven’t tested before and just starting my Keto journey. Excited for this product!

I have never tested my ketones, but I think it may help me be more accountable to myself. I love that this device also tests glucose so I could test certain foods
Kay says
This would change so much for me!
Denise says
No, but I am just getting into the keto life and would love it try it. Thanks for all you do to help us get healthy.
Rebecca Mckinney says
I’ve been wanting to get a ketone monitor to see if I’m actually in ketosis, even tho I feel so much better on LCHF. Would love to win one!
Misty Schreiner says
I have tested my Ketones before using urine strips. I know this isn’t the most accurate way to test and how I would LOVE to win this ketone meter. I have so much weight to lose and I know the Ketogenic diet is helping me reach my goals.
Tanya says
I’ve heard about the blood monitor on Jimmy Moore’s Podcast. It is a pricey tool but I know the accuracy would keep me more effective on my journey to better health and healing. So awesome to hear you on his podcast the other day! I really appreciate everything you do. Your recipes have kept me going and won over friends and family to adopt healthier choices. Thank you for being so accessible to your readers!
Shawna says
Thanks for the review. I have been having trouble with urine strips. would love to try and win this device.
Julia says
I have the urind strips and they are confusing. I don’t know if high to moderate ketones means I’m in Keto dis or not yet in ketosis. I’m a newbie at week 3.
I’d love to really know, especially considering I haven’t tracked my macros in 3 days.
Thanks for the review! And giveaway!!
Kim Hogan says
This would be great, I have watched the videos, but a bit out of my budget right now. Great giveaway ?
Lisa in NJ says
I have not tested for ketones but would be interested to see if I’m in ketosis or not. I think it would be helpful to know,
Clair McLaughlin says
I have not tested mine but would love to try!
Kelly Snickles says
I would love to try out the monitor! I have tried and failed with the strips! I used to be a huge stickler when it came to the low carb way of life and now I’m not too sure where I’m at! I haven’t went off course but just knowing where I’m at would be so awesome!
Michelle M says
I’ve never tested my ketones before, but I just delivered child #6 and would love to see where I’m at, since I’m eating more Keto now!
Geoff Grinnell says
I’ve never tested before. Just starting out inKETO. I have your new book and am really looking forward to this lifestyle.
Kati says
I have tested using keto strips, but after a few months on low carb diet, and you have lost 30-50 lbs, your ketone profile changes to the point that the pee strips don’t work any more. I basically tracked when I was losing weight and kept a “symptoms of ketosis” diary, and now I kinda just “know” when I’m in the right place. It doesn’t take much to knock me out of ketosis at this point.
k
Janet says
I have tested using strips, but I think this woul motivate me more
Rhonda Strange says
Keto for life due to Diabetes and feel so much better! Excited to hear about this Keto monitor and a chance to win. Thanks for all you do for us!
Laurie L says
I haven’t ever keto tested with strips but like that this one looks like it does blood sugar too?
Carolyn says
It does, yes.
Denise says
Yes, I have tested my ketones before.
Gislaine Arcega says
I love to try ketone Monitor to help me with my journey.
Sylvia says
I have only had my levels tested in the doctor’s office, and I have heard that the blood testing is the only accurate way to test.
Jacquie Spudis says
I am just starting myKeto journey tomorrow actually so I have never used a monitor. However, previously, I had tried strips but did not find them accurate. This was many years ago. I am over the moon excited to have found you an your blog. I bought your book and read it cover to cover! I am having a brunch this week for friends and will be including Your cannoli tart and the eggs Benedict quiche. Thank you for all your hard work!
Carolyn says
Good luck on your journey and please let me know if you have any questions.
Shelby says
I have not tested my ketones before. I’m really interested in this for both Grumpy and I and have been looking into getting the strips so I am really glad this post came out. I am definitely looking into these specific strips. Thank you!
Rosa DeSensi says
no i have never tested my keytones. im like you in the fact that i eat a very healthy diet and hope for the best! i would love to follow my glucose levels and also my husbands
Dorcas Martin says
I found the strips to be innacurate and annoying as well! Love you and your site. Your desserts are always reliable, especially when baking for non keto friends and family. God bless you!
Joanne Deocampo says
I do have the precision extra glucose and ketone monitor, and, of course, have tested my blood ketones, but the strips are so expensive that after using my first pack up, I never bought more!
Nanci says
I have not tested myself and have been wanting too; think I would be much more successful in my weight loss journey.
Darla says
Would love to try this. Right now I use a glucose monitor.
Brenda Penton says
I’ve only ever used urine strips to test. I’ve really been wanting a meter.
Russell Porter says
I haven’t tested for them before. My wife uses strips to test hers though.
Jenn P says
I’ve used both keto strips and a blood glucose tester but this sounds fantastic and far more accurate.
Carol says
No, I have never tested, but believe it could really help me. Thank you!
Jamy says
Ahh, testing would help me out enormously.
Karen Molinaro says
I used to test my fasted ketones/glucose every morning and I found it to be a very useful tool in the beginning of my ketogenic journey when I wrote down everything and figured out how I felt correlates with what the numbers said. After awhile, though, it became very expensive and I was only able to afford to test glucose. Around my 6 months of following my ketogenic lifestyle, I purchased a Ketonix (a breath analyzer) and have been using it ever since. I love my Ketonix because I have compared those results to how I feel and it has saved me a lot of money. I listen to a lot of Ketogenic podcasts and read a lot of blogs and always find that they want to know your blood ketone readings. I would love to be able to test my blood again – and winning the Keto Mojo would give me that knowledge.
Kathy Barger says
Your recipies are the Best I have found. Thanks so much for all you do. Finding the Keto lifestyle is the answer to a lifetime of searching for the perfect eating plan. I believe testing blood Ketones is the next I would like to take! You new cookbook is FABULOUS!
Laurie says
I would love to try this tester. My husband is diabetic, so we are familiar with the blood testing.
We use the keto uring strips right now, but are not sure of their accuracy! Also, we got your new cookbook and LOVE it!!!
Cindy Price says
Thank you for the giveaway. I currently don’t have a ketone monitor, but I think it would be great to know if I am doing this keto diet correctly, besides just my blood sugar being down. I hope I win.
Monique says
No, I have never tested before. I am sure that would be a great tool to use. Thank you.
Angie Harrison says
New to the Keto lifestyle so this would really help to start me on the right path!!!
Barbara says
Never tested before. Would love to know…
Sandra Parker says
I’ve tested both urine and blood for ketones. The blood strips are so darn expensive! I love eating keto and I love your recipe book. It was nice meeting you here in Houston!
Teresa D says
Have only used the urine strips with pretty good results but would love a more accurate method. Very interested in this meter. Love the cookbook Carolyn. Have followed your blog for years. Love your recipes. Thanks for all you do.
Dorinda Hathaway says
Thank you for the great give-away. I would love to win this.
Charlie Loxely says
Hi there. Thanks for the contest opportunity. I’d like to receive one of these because although the strips say I’m just barely in ketosis, I am doing everything right, even tracking all my foods by full nutrient breakdown. I’m not doing the diet for weight loss, but because I have epilepsy and want to see if it will help with both seizures and brain fog.
Be well,
Charlie.
Lise says
I’ve used the NovaMax ketone monitor, but these strips are cheaper: enough that the cost of purchasing it would be saved after about 50 tests. I’m considering upgrading when my current supply of strips runs out.
Robyn Garris says
I have never monitored my ketones before, because all of the testers are too expensive for me! I would love to win this!
Sharon L Etheridge says
That’s so awesome! I never heard of such a thing! I have got to google this!
Jamie says
I have never tested my blood ketones before. I’ve used urine strips just to ensure that I get into ketosis, but as many know eventually the urine strips stop working because over time your body begins to use the ketones instead of excreting them thru your urine. I would love to up the ante and start tracking blood concentrations! Thank you for the opportunity to win!
Kathryn says
This seems like a great monitor, and the strips are in a much more affordable range! Thanks for sharing!
Trina C says
Kind of new to LCHF – started in July 2017, and have lost 45 pounds so far. The one thing I love more than eating keto is researching/learning more about keto! Thanks for all the awesome info and recipes. Sooo helpful!!!
paul says
i’ve used the urine strips which seem to vary. this looks much better.
Shar Toliver says
I have been keto for 3 weeks and my husband for 2 months. It is such an amazing way of eating and we have had so many health benefits already. I ordered your cookbook and it arrived on Friday. You did a really nice job with it! The monitor would be super handy too. What a great giveaway! I just wanted to say thanks for all you are doing to help out the Low Carb community.
Ann Reed says
Yes, I test for ketones and have a brand of urine regent strips I like, but read somewhere that they become less accurate once one becomes fat adapted. Total bummer! I have wanted a blood test monitor for a few years, but with test strips costing $4-$6 (and NOT covered by insurance) it was way too pricey for me.
The Club price of $1 per strip is AMAZING! It is something I would definitely continue if I won this Giveaway.
Joan says
I’ve been wanting to test my blood sugar and ketone levels. This would be something new for me and give me some feedback on how effective my diet is.
Heather says
I have tested my ketones twice before, but I was using a urine strip. This kit would be much more efficient and helpful in my keto journey.
Adrienne says
I started my keto journey a little over 2 months ago, and I have utilized your recipes every week. Thank you so much for this site, it is my go to when I’m looking for a new recipe to try or want a specific recipe, I just made your salted caramel brownie cupcakes this weekend and they were amazing.
Carolyn says
Thanks, Adrienne!
Mary Calabrese says
I’ve never tested my ketones before.

I’ve counted macros never used any of the glucose strips testing for ketone levels. I mostly aim for eating intuitively today!!
Natalie says
i have never tested ketones before. Just starting on this journey & would love the help!
Thanks!
Linda says
I have not tested my ketones but would like to have an accurate means to do it.
Court says
No, I have the dual monitor but I never did go ahead and splurge on the $50 pack of testing strips to get a reading. Would be so neat to know!
Julie D says
Have just tested with the urine strips, knowing they aren’t terribly accurate.
Krissy says
yes, with the urine strips only. I would love to try this!
Kristen says
No but I always have wanted too.
Kristeen says
I’ve used the ketonix meter.
Sue Richards says
I love your blog and your recipes. Keep up the great work!
Celina says
I tested at the beginning of my Keto journey, 19 months ago, but it was so expensive! I would love to be able to test at a lower cost.
Jacque says
I’ve used the urine strips in the past, but the results were inconclusive at best, so I would love to try this!
Btw, so you haven’t posted a new recipe since your tour—your book is keeping me plenty busy!!
Annamarie V says
Yes I have used the Ketone urine test strips before but like you said they do stop working after they have been open a while so this would be a great way to monitor.
Kathy says
I have tried the urine test strips and for me they never worked well. This would be a great way to monitor ketones.
Ann Cammack says
I have used the urine strips only. Would love this.
Alie says
I’ve only ever used the strips and like you, have gotten tired of seeing that tan strip stay in place when I know (or hope!) I’m in ketosis.
Thanks for showing this kit!
Sherri Cunningham says
This is an awesome prize! I use the strips and it drives me nuts! I never know if I’m in Ketosis or not. I don’t know if I’ve tasted my Ketones before, but I’ve had some stanky breath ?
Jen says
I haven’t tested before, but I’d like to start
Ruthanne Robertson says
I’ve never tested ketones. Have been thinking about getting a meter. This blog looks really tasty. I’m going to have to try some of these recipes.
Pam Thompson says
I have not used a ketone meter as yet. I have used the strips years ago. It would be nice to have something more accurate. It would also give some addional motivation.
Charelle Rogers says
What a great prize – Wow – Would be awesome in our house xxxx
Erica says
I have been intuitively low-carving but would love to see how accurate I am! I do utilize myfitnesspal but would love to be free from so much tracking.
Maria Dillhunt says
I used the Ketostix for urine testing in the 70’s. They worked for me then, but not any more.
Now I have a Precision Xtra meter and used the blood ketone test strips about once per week at first. Then I got tired of spending so much money on the strips and stopped using them.
I would love to win the Keto Mojo. It’s about time someone came up with a more affordable option. If I don’t win, I will probably buy one.
I have Diabetes 2 and am curious about the accuracy of the Keto Mojo blood glucose testing strips. The meter and strips I used for years have been discontinued and I haven’t yet found a new brand I am happy with. Maybe this will be it.
Thanks for the hosting this givaway! You are the best!!!
Kim Pitts says
I have only used the urine ketone strips. I have been wanting to purchase a glucose/ketone meter. Being keto adapted I no longer can use the strips. I had some sugar problems prior to keto and I would love to track and see where my numbers are now and I’m curious to see what spikes me and what does not.
coll says
I dont believe my keto strips are very accurate. I meet my macros daily and still not in a good range and its been 4 weeks. This would be amazing for me…thank you for offering this contest 🙂
Heather Jones says
Haven’t used the ketostix in years. Was uncertain of the accuracy.
Sonya says
I have used the strips but usually just go with how I am feeling. I am interested to use a monitor even though I must admit that I am a bit of a baby about finger pricks. It would be worth it to know how I am doing.
Holly Grammer says
I have only tested with urine strips, but I’d love to have an accurate measure of my ketones. This sounds perfect!
Nikki Reeves says
I’ve never tested using an actual monitor, always the urine strips. I have the same problem you do, they stop working after the bottle has been open for awhile…turning them into a waste of money! This little device would be really handy!
Jessica N says
I’ve never tested via blood before, but I would love to try this out and see actually how accurate I am! 🙂
Carol Wilson says
I would love to try the Keto Mojo monitor set! I’ve been using the urine test strips but am disappointed in the accuracy of the strips.
Kathy says
No.
Anna Myers says
I’ve tested my bgl before but haven’t tested for ketones yet

I would love to give this a try! I’ve used the urine strips before but it would be great to see something more accurate.

Such a cool giveaway! I haven’t tested my blood levels before. Thank you for the chance to win!

Oh this would be so amazing to have! I have been on the keto diet since June 5, 2017 and use the urine strips but I too find that they can be so inaccurate….thank you for this chance to win such an awesome package!
Hannah Carson says
I have tried the Keto urine strips but this would be more accurate.
Katie says
I’ve never tested, but I’m becoming more curious now that I’ve been lazy keto for 3 months. Thanks for the giveaway!
Jessica says
I have not tested my ketones yet but would love to try this!
Bryan Lowery says
I have with the urine strips but i would like to test blood ketones to see how deep in ketosis I am. Plus if would be beneficial for my diabetic mother as well.
Courtney Benton says
How awesome! I’m the lazy keto too. I’d love to be able to test and learn how to stay in ketosis lomger!
Amber says
Just started the keto diet…love your blog and recipes. Never tested but it would definitely help! Thanks for all your great posts
Jill Kuehn says
I’ve never been interested in the blood testing, but now i think it sounds interesting
Jessica says
I’m pretty new to the Keto lifestyle, and I have never tested myself for ketones before. I’d love to try this ketone tester, and I think it would definitely encourage me to Keto On.
ShanQ says
LOVE is the only word I can use to describe your cookbook! Carolyn, you are my new go-to KetoDiet expert. Keep the recipes and information coming. Thanks for all you do!
Stacie says
I just found your Facebook and blog yesterday. I have the urine strips but only used it once, not even sure I was doing it right. I don’t track my macros or anything so this would be a great way to see if I’m eating the way I need to be
Tasha Eldridge says
I’ve only ever tested through the strips and frankly, I don’t think they are always a good indication. I’d like something a bit more precise!
Erin says
Would love to.do this.
Pamela Gilmore says
I haven’t ever tested my ketones, and I need this to get healthy
Carolyn says
Thank you for doing this—so generous. I’ve only used ketone strips in the past and I think this meter would be way more accurate.
Kristen Leslie says
Haven’t tried testing yet. Sounds interesting and a good way to keep on track.
Tracie B says
I have only used the urine strips.
Leigh Ann Griffin says
I would love to try these. I’ve been eating low carb for a year but have no idea if I’m in ketosis.
Melody Spence says
It has been a long time since I did. This would also be nice for my type1 diabetic son who does this diet.
Carien says
I’ve never used strips to test, but I am paranoid about going out of ketosis now that I’m back on a Keto diet after not eating Keto for about 2 months. Hate that ketonflu feeling and trying so hard to not break Keto! ???
Jen says
Just starting thus way of life! Would love to add this to the journey!
Laura Newman says
I would never indulge buying a monitor I would feel guilty. But I would love to have one. I do thm but because of your awesome cookbook and your use of Swerve I am tempted to try keto. Thanks
Robin says
My endocrinologist suggested to get one. I am looking at them now would love to use it!
Kristeen says
Yes. I have those pee strips. They don’t seem to work though
Beth says
I have never tested mine
SOMMER says
LOve your blog! Totally an inspiration to me. I have been wanting one of these machines, so I will know if I’m in ketosis. Thank you for your generosity!
Tee Flemming says
I am enjoying your cookbook and learning a lot about keto eating. This monitor would be a great addition to the book.
Karen G. says
I’ve been doing LCHF for about a year and a half now. Lost 70 lbs, but I’ve been stalled for awhile now and have started to put weight back on. I think I need to start monitoring my ketone levels.
Marilyn says
I need one of these
Leisa says
I’ve tried a breath test before – but never monitored my blood for ketones. Love your recipes – new to the site!
Brandy says
I just bought your book and I’m so excited to try your recipes!
Carolyn says
Thanks, Brandy!
Di says
Hi, I see where the entries are closed now. When will the drawing be? Or has it been already? If so, I missed it 🙁
I hope that you are feeling much better now than when you did the review of the tester. I have been wondering if you were fairing better with some time to be home and hopefully resting some.
Cold weather has set in and I am anxious to look through my books and find some nice warming foods to help deal with the upcoming cold months. I hope the kids will like the new menu (seasonal change in foods).
Carolyn says
Yes, I have to actually choose the winner on the rafflecopter widget and haven’t had a chance to do so. I will do it tomorrow.
Bella D. says
Great review as always. I would agree with you that it is not necessary to use a keto meter but it just helps SO much with knowing where you stand. It has given me actual facts about when I am in ketosis, and that helps me to stay on track. I had doubts between the Keto Mojo or the Precision Xtra and crossed this comparing article before I purchased the mojo http://foodadviceonline.com/keto-mojo-compared-to-precision-xtra/
Steph says
Hi 🙂
Great review! Have you tried the KetoPlot app? It’s an app for logging your Ketone and Glucose readings from your blood meter. I just got it and I have found it really helps motivate me to see all my numbers with the trend. Rather than just focusing on the current number
