Ketosis strips

[time2doit]

I feel stalled (2 weeks w/o change) so I went and bought keto strips. I have two questions:

1) can you cut them in half?

2) If you have been not eating or not eating much (my mother is in the hospital and this has thrown me off regular eating) will they show that you are in ketosis?

I was maybe in trace ketosis, maybe none and I know I have not cheated, although I may not be eating enough.

Thanks.

Re: Ketosis strips

I have heard of someone cutting those skinny strips in half before.... More power to ya there! I rarely show much more than maybe a trace unless I go for a couple hours without liquids. I think I'm just drinking so much all day that the ketones have no hope of really showing up. Maybe you could experiment with allowing yourself to drink a bit less for a couple hours and see if you have better results.

Best of luck! They say stalls are really normal for this woe.

Re: Ketosis strips

If you cut them in half, they last longer. Depends if you feel its worth the time (how long is it gonna take to cut those bad boys in half??!!??) and the $$ savings.

Re: Ketosis strips

I used to cut them in half so they'd last twice as long. I still have a bunch, but I don't bother with them anymore.

Re: Ketosis strips

I never thought of cutting them in half - thanks for the idea . I only pay about $7 for 50, but I'm a cheapskate so I'm going to give this a try.

Re: Ketosis strips

cut them lengthwise, not crosswise!!
