    A good Idea?

    This is my second time doing atkins, and this time it's for me, and not just supporting my boyfriend. SOOOO I'm taking it more seriously! I just wondered if you guys would recommend Ketostix. I never used them before, but was wondering if you guys recommend it????

    Re re starting this time for good with the support of my husband. He is doing this with me.

    I consider them a waste of money. I can tell I am in ketosis by the taste in my mouth and how I feel. The amount of water I drink dilutes my system and a ketostick wont show color for me.

    Some do find them helpful though and you may get a different view from another poster.

      I use them once in a while to confirm I am still in Ketosis.. this time around I am losing weight soooo slowly I didnt think this way of eating was working for me.
      So basically it was a confidence booster.

      They dont work for everyone.. and the color can vary greatly from day to day.

      Hope that helps a lil !!

        Me too, I think there might be a time for them when you go up OWL, but during induction they are a waste of time

            I don't use them. I did the first time around and do admit that they provided some motivation, but now I just follow plan and know that it works.

              I use them a lot.

              It’s a confidence booster for me.

              I don’t trust my scale (well maybe now I just got a new one today), and the measurement routine is a bit slow to show me that I’m gaining on the problems. But I can get reassurance pretty much whenever I want it with the Stix
