Imagine the effort it would take to empty a bucket of water with a spoon. Without the right spoon and/or method used it could take a LOT more effort, and results (if they were achieved) might take aeons longer to get than would the right way (assume the instructions say use large spoon, right side up, fill, don't turn it over until carried away from bucket, empty, repeat versus a tiny spoon, used properly halfway and only sometimes followed through with...)

Now, how does a typical day's food and beverage consumption look for you? In the beginning, you want to get into ketosis....

I bought those strips, They were always negative for me. My problem is I dont really eat much ( I know sounds silly) Today I had a Atkins shake, 2 eggs, and maybe 30oz of water. thats it all day. I am never hungry, I cant understand why Im fat.
