Top 10 gadgets and kitchen tools
  1. Glucose Monitor - This monitor connects to iPhone and Android via Bluetooth. The app records readings and allows for entries like exercise, food etc
  2. Ketone Monitor - Testing blood ketones is more accurate then urine strips, especially after the body is better at using ketones
  3. Body composition scale - The Withings WIFI body scale automatically uploads and tracks body composition markers like water, fat, bone, muscle mass, BMI, and of course weight.
    I love how easy it is to set up and use right out of the box. The scale will pair with your smart phone to track your progress. For those that are numbers driven, this is a must have.
  4. Food scale When tracking macros, it is helpful to measure or weigh food. We recommend the Perfect Portions Digital Scale + Nutrition.
    10 blueberries can be a small handful to a full palmful. Weighing your food is the most accurate way to measure carbohydrates. With over 2000 preprogrammed ingredients this scale makes meal planning a breeze.
  5. Ceramic Frying Pan Set GreenPan SearSmart Hard Anodized Healthy Ceramic Nonstick 10 Piece Cookware Pots and Pans Set, PFAS Free.
    If you read my recipe blogs you'll already know that I think these are the best things I've ever bought myself. Food slides right out after cooking. Even then keto caramel sauce just wiped right off when cleaning.
  6. Ninja Foodi 12-in-1 Deluxe XL 8 qt. Pressure Cooker & Air Fryer.
    I have 2 air fryers/ pressure cooker combination units. I leave one set up for air frying, and one set up for pressure cooking. Ninja has been my go to brand for years.
  7. Immersion Blender Mueller Smart Stick 800W, 12 Speed and Turbo Mode.
    I used my immersion blender for everything long before I started a keto way of eating. Its slim compact design is great for quick blends. Bullet-proof coffee is a breeze with an immersion blender.
  8. Measuring cup set Pyrex 3 Piece Measuring Cup Set.
    A staple for any kitchen. Classic design and easy to read measurements make these a daily utensil for my family.
