  • Is it important to get the Keto sticks?

    I have just recently started the diet and I was wondering if it is important to get the keto sticks? And also, where do you get them? I have asked at Wal-Mart and they have never heard of them. Is this the same sticks that diabetics can use? Thank you in advance for your help.

    I got mine off ebay...

    Its not important no and they dont work for a lot of people, there are other ways of finding out if you are in ketosis or not!

    I say dont bother!

      Is it important? Nope.

      You can pick them up at any pharmacy, really.

      Yep, they're the same ones diabetics use.

      But honestly, you don't need them. If you listen to your body and pay attention, it'll tell you all you need to know.

      Loss of appetite?
      More thirsty than usual?
      More energy?
      Sweat and urine more smelly (yeah..attractive, I know.)?
      Metallic or sweet taste in your mouth? Significant other telling you you have breath that could knock over a horse?

      These are all signs of ketosis- in all their glory and splendor and if you pay attention you'll notice these things and be able to save yourself th and get a steak instead.

        Thank you both for responding. I have noticed some of those thing you listed. I do worry about my diet soda intake. I have lived off of diet soda so long I need the caffeine to keep going. Has anyone else kept drinking the diet soda with caffeine and lost weight? I have lost 8 pounds so far but sometimes I feel stalled.
