    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!!!

                          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.
