Ketostk's

[fourby4gal]

Ok so I went out yesterday and bought these sticks to see if I was burning fat. Used one when I got home in the afternoon and it was light pink. Used one before I went to bed and it was light pink. Used one this morning and it was neutral.

If it goes to deep purple, does that mean you're burning the fat faster? And is there anything I can do to get it up to deep purple if it means burning fat faster.

i appreciate any comments

thanks

Any color change means you are in ketosis. The fact that you were not in ketosis this morning may mean you are eating hidden carbs. Darker purple does not mean you are burning fat faster. In fact the color change menas only that there are ketones in your urine, it does not necessarily mean those ketones were from body fat burned or food eaten. Don't put too much on the ketosticks. I would hang onto them for OWL.

I liked the ketostix just because they validated what I was indeed doing in the beginning. It was bit of positive reenforcement that no hidden carbs had crept into my diet. It indeed was more psychological for me, but it worked just the same. The amount of pink or purple in the stick is largely irrevelent as you are burning fat with the presence of any ketones, and the color change could just relate to hydration levels. If they help you, great. If they distract you from all the other positive things going on with the WOE, then putting them away might be adviseable.
