On the flip side, I love seeing the stick change color and know that I'm actually in ketosis....to each his/her own!

I don't use ketostix either. Seemed to cost too much just for something to pee on!

As well, the stix will turn color if your fat consumption is very high. I never did trust those things and don't use them at all......

Don't forget other symptoms of ketosis
metalic taste in mouth
urine smells somewhat like you ate asparagus
and I got hot flashes and a "high" feeling

I've been eating this way for 6 years. With oranges, apples, pears, figs, grapes, bananas (in moderation) why would you want to stay in ketosis? Once you hit maintenance fruit is truly a wonderful experience.

I also found in my journey that the more I restricted adding through the phases, I also restricted myself from losing at times. Your body gets very used to what you do to it and can fall into a pattern. (mine did anyway) Once I started adding a lot of veggies and fruit the weight fell off. I eat all of my fruit for breakfast and snacks. No high glycemic fruits after 4:00 for me.

[QUOTE=ttdriver]No problem .. I'm probably the only Atkineer who's never touched a ketostick!


No Betty, me neither! Just couldn't be bothered with all that stuff. I lost 11 kg in Induction, I HAD to be in ketosis, and I can tell from the smell of both my sweat and urine (crude, but true!) if I am or not.
