Ketone strips

[lantanapooh]

Hi all,

I have been on the atkins induction for 9 days now and have lost 7 pounds. This morning I tried my ketone strips and noticed that it didn't even change color. I feel like my mouth is metallic cottonballish so why is it not showing up on ketone strips. I am so worried that my body is not in ketone. Do you think the ketone strips might be bad I just bought them the other day. Are there any brands that seem to work better then others or is there only one brand to use. I like the ketone strips to know that my body is definately in ketone it will make me feel better to know.
Thanks lantanapooh
