    Addicted To Ketosticks

    Does anyone else have this problem? I swear I use them each time I pee. I can't help it, I am a low carb queen!

    And guess what??

    They are as PURPLE as can be!
    I am in big time ketosis!!!

    It is funny, I can really gauge my carb intake with them. For example- I accidentally ate 1/4 cup of cottage cheese (thought it was OK on induction) and the next morning my strip showed a bit lighter than normal. Still moderate to high level of ketosis, but lighter than normal.

    I love this WOL!

      Yep, love them! I would use them everytime I went to the bathroom too. I knew I was addicted when my Mom attempted Atkins at one time and after a couple of days on Induction and wanted to know if she was burning fat. I said she needed to use the Ketosis stix. She said she didn't have any.....and I refused to give any of mine to her...not even one!!!!!!!

        This should answer your question.

        I bought a bottle of 50 I've been on this woe for 19 days and I'm almost out of sticks.

        but Purple is my favorite color. (really)

        I've read that some people cut them in two to save $ but that sounds so tedious to me. They are tiny!

          I am a once a day user ! although at first the sticks were a bit of a novelty! Be aware that dark purple may mean you are dehydrated ... so its not necessarily the intensity of the colour but more the fact that they change colour at all that we need to look for. Some people who excercise a lot actually burn off the ketones so that none at all show on the strips yet they still lose weight. The spill over of Ketones into the urine is only one way of knowing you are burning fat. Ketosis breath( erk) and reduced appetite are the other ways of gauging your fat burning success as well as losing inches and pounds on the scale. Well done to everyone on their weight loss so far --- its a great feeling to finally be in control isnt it???

          Goodluck!

            lol you'll grow out of that addiction!!

            Watch for the deep purple though on the sticks, it could mean you are dehydrated, the best result you can get is the "traces" one

            Remember not to test in a morning or after exercise as that would give a false reading
