The lifestyle blogger didn’t just defend the keto diet. She also shared a photo of herself pricking her own blood.

“Morning keytone [sic] and glucose level check,” Kourtney Kardashian wrote in another Instagram Story, “and after two days of eating ‘keto’ I am in ketosis (.5).”

The keto diet forbids people from eating beans, grains, and juices. The goal of the diet is to enter a state of ketosis through fat metabolism, as per Us Weekly. Once the body enters the ketogenic state, it uses the fat for energy rather than carbohydrates. When the person enters ketosis, they have blood ketone levels of 0.5-3 millimoles per liter.
