      Just to repeat what a previous poster said - if you are losing weight and not showing a colour on those pesky sticks then you are one of the many people (me amongst them) who never get a reading on them, so save your money and keep on working your Atkins.

      I lost 140 pounds without seeing 'pink'!!
      Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
      Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!



      Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!

They are making me crazy. I don't own a scale, and my clothes seemd loose last Sunday AM, but have gone back to being tight. I have never been so frustrated!! To make matters worse, I don't have the "Flu", I smoke so I can't tell if I'm releasing ketones in my breath or not. I am using fitday and my percentages are good. I'm just obsessing and making myself nuts.
        Goodness, please don't test several times a day! That is just as bad as weighing yourself several times a day. If you are eating correctly and not cheating, you will lose weight, please don't obsess about those readings!

        No Weigh Until Christmas Day!!!

          Yeah, since ketones are released in a few different ways (through breathing out, sweating, and urinating), some people are set up differently and don't really urinate them out... they release them in the other ways. So no matter what, their ketosis strips will never change or won't change much. It doesn't necessarily mean they're not releasing ketones or burning fat.
          No stats. Not weighing anymore ever. Will post "before and after" pictures when I want to. The end.

          Vigilance, not perfection.
