Good to Know
The carbs in ribs almost never come from the meat itself. They come from the sauce, so a sticky barbecue glaze can add 10 g or more of sugar per few tablespoons. Reach for a dry rub instead, and check the label since blends from brands like McCormick sometimes sneak in brown sugar or maltodextrin. Pre-sauced ribs at the grocery deli counter are the usual hidden-carb trap, so dry-rubbed or plain racks you season yourself are the safer bet.

Measure Your Ketone Levels
A blood ketone meter reads beta-hydroxybutyrate from a finger prick, the marker that defines nutritional ketosis at 0.5 to 3.0 mmol/L. Urine strips measure acetoacetate instead, which drops off once you are fat-adapted. Keto-Mojo makes a blood meter.
