Do ketsostix work if you're drinking over 128 oz. of water a day?

[Misnagid]

Anyone know?

[*Emma*]

yes they'd still work, but you should be in the "traces" category


do remember that ketostix dont work for everyone!

[Duinai]

Yes. But of course you dilute your ketones with water so dont be upset to see your color as pale pink

Best thing is to use your stick first thing in the morning, when your water condition is relatively steady and more or less consistant every morning.

So, does that mean that if your stick is purple later in the day, you don't have enough water??? Interesting, I hadn't thought of this!

Good idea!

I wonder when I'm going to stop getting up two or three times a night to go, though.

nope. you shouldnt test in a morning or after exercise, it could cause a false positive

and yes a dark purple can mean you are dehydrated

drinking more than 100 oz of water a day will lead to kidney damage. Your kidneys cannot process that much water in 24 hours. You're going to kill youself.

Dot, do you have a cited reference for this? A study or something, that we can read?

[Dotultimate]

I'll find it when i get home (i'm at work!) My mum sent it to me a few weeks ago (she works for the health department in disease prevention) and they're about to release a state warning regarding this.

Wow, I'm in deep trouble, I've been drinking over 100oz/day for over 2 years... yet I have full physicals every year and no health issues... well, I *do* keep losing weight....
