Only got a minute but wanted to say my Ketone strip has bee in the dark purple for 3 days I'm hoping that's a sign I'm loosing fat only a couple of days until I weigh and I'm really hoping for a loss. I've really tried hard this week and I've never had the Ketone strips get so dark.
A loss incourages us to keep going.
Hope your having a good day.

Hi.... Saw your post about the Ketone strips and wanted to ask about them and all? Please explain when you have a moment. Thanks!

If your on a LCHF or Keto diet there useful to see if your in ketossis which means your burning fat in your body because you haven't taken in enough carbs to produce sugars to burn. The Ketone strips are something you pee on and wait 15 seconds to see what color the end of the strip turns. You buy the strips in the drug store in the area where the diabetic supplies are. I was excited because they have never turned so dark.

That's interesting! Never heard of those. Are they pricey? I'd like to try them.

No not really pricy but u need to be on a low carb high fat diet for them to work

SunnieDillard I looked at your food chart I don't think they will work for you because you eat a lot of carbs. You would need to be on an Atkins type diet.

well that is wonderful BUT, instead of watching that scale, get out your tape measure. It will be your friend more closer than the scale. dark purple is a sign you are in ketosis and burning fat, but you will loose inches some times before pounds. Keep up the good work. we are all with ya!

Sweet Georgia Peaches, thanks for the advise I haven't measured in awhile. It may not be accurate to judge this past week because I didn't measure when I restarted but I need a new guide line. Florida Angel, I've really been trying to keep the carbs down and I plan to do that for awhile no matter how slow the loss is.

Yes! You have worked hard this week. THAT is more important than the stupid scale. Great work!
|
You are definitely in Ketosis! That is awesome Addie!
