Nat, is that your cat in that avator? It's so cute ^_^!!! thanks for the insight.
From what you told me, if my body can burn a high fat meal in that respect, that means alternately I am probably burning fat too, right?...If you can burn dietary fat, you can burn body fat if you're doing some daily exercising yes?

Isn't that why you're supposed to test in the morning before you eat breakfast? That's what all the brands I've used have specified. It's supposed to be the most accurate way to get your true results.

Yup. Despite the difference in Ketosis/lipolysis and ketoacidosis (complication of diabetes) the testing strips are the same. Testing in the morning for ketones used to be how some doctors had their patients monitor their diabetes in the pre-accucheck days.

Go up to the "Low Carb Tips" on the top bar, it will lead you to an article about the strips that can answer many questions you might have.

<sigh> I actually had an appointment with an atkins doctor in NYC and she and I were not getting along too well. I was aggrivated at her because she kept trying to tell me about induction and I kept trying to tell her that I already read about it like 17 times and that was not why I was there. She also told me not to test in the morning because my body had been at rest and wouldn't show up properly. she said "you need to test right before you have your dinner..."
