There have been tests comparing"Lang Calipers" which are the gold standard in calipers with various other testers and the Accumeasure rates one of the best especially where you can do it yourself.
I was curious as to if you tested for Ketosis with strips because a lot of people fall short thinking because they are eating low carbs they are in Ketosis but fall short and end up being on a low carb high fat diet instead.

Well, you do add in healthy fats to make up the calorie deficit left by eliminating the carbs. Olive oil, coconut oil, natural peanut butter, etc.
