    Ketosticks opinions...

    Okay - I'm just curious what opinions are out there on these little devils. I don't completely rely on them but have used them here and there. They don't seem consistant to me at all. Sometimes I'll show a change in color and sometimes not - even if I'm sticking to the plan as I should. Don't get it.

    I know I won't be buying any more of them - not because I don't think they work - I just don't feel like they are helping me guage things very well.

    I have them because I am miss insecure, but honestly, when I am in ketosis, I can taste it in my mouth...the sticks just confirm what I already know...also, if I don't drink enough they are really dark, so I don't know how entirely reliable they are...If you know you're doing everything right, don't bother I would say...

      They are a waste of money and don't really tell you a thing. But I guess if you like peeing on sticks!!!

            They don't work for me because of my medications.

              Another variable is the time of day that you pee on the stick. I'll confess to peeing on the stick once in a while~~nice for confirmation. Anywho is I test in the morning I'm negative. If I test in the early evening I'm positve.

                When I get discouraged and wonder if ANYTHING is happening with my weight, seeing the stick turn pink encourages me that something is going on even if I can't see it yet.
