Please don't stress over those things. I have never used one, and I have lost 20 pounds. It depends on so many factors, and they only test for one type of ketone. As long as you are following the plan, you are fine. I see you only have 30 pounds to go, what phase of Atkins are you in?

Like sunflower said, don't obsess over the sticks. She doesn't use them and has lost 20 pounds, I on the other hand, have been in moderate to heavy ketosis for 9 weeks and have only dropped 11 lbs.. If you like checking for the fun of it (which I do) go for it but don't take it as law.

KO

I also use them mostly for fun, as a male you know we like peeing on stuff and the sticks are just one more thing.

I even never saw a keto-stick from upclose and I lost about 35 lbs, so there you go, also the time of the day and how long after you ate are of influence on the color, but any coloration means ketosis and it's like with pregnancy, you can not be just a little pregnant..............

I have never seen the ketosticks change colour either.
I stopped buying them after the first 100 pounds lost!!

Default Re: Ketosis Stix

Ketosticks are weird. I went out briefly over the weekend with some non-legal indulgences and now, after four days of legal dilligence, they just will not turn even though I'm usually a moderate to heavy kind of gal. Don't fret too much, like all the others have said.
