Okay, sorry guys, no offense...but my question is this if you are on your period will that effect the color? Gross I know...

Re: Ketosis strips question ladies only....
As far as I know, you are not supposed to test during "that time" I suppose it throws it off. As to the why and how, we will have to wait for the more Atkinsly Educated to chime in here. Compared to others, I am still an Atkins Freshman... maybe a sophomore, but still learning.

Re: Ketosis strips question ladies only....
I'm the same as Barb. Doesnt matter how hard I work out in the gym I will never show that I'm burning fat during my period. Something to do with hormones or something. I'm sure that we still are in ketosis but obviously the hormones we release during our periods effect the strips in some way

Re: Ketosis strips question ladies only....
you can pop false negative before your period and then false positive during it ..just keep going and use the strips when you are between periods ...and do not count them as something that really means anything it is just a tool to help you...you will get to know yourself well enough soon so that you do not even need this tool

Re: Ketosis strips question ladies only....
The strips do not change color in response to hormones. The change is from contact with ketone bodies, alcohol, acetone or vinegar. The amount that is in your urine will be more or less based on the degree of ketosis, the dilution of your urine, and the rate of ketone utilization by the body versus the ketone production rate.~Susan
