low ketosis
 

Hi! I've been on atkins for 8 months and have always had ketone strips
turn medium pink or higher. Caffeine and dairy have been okay in the diet
so far. For the last 2 weeks my strips have barely turned color!! I'm not
really doing things any different, and I centainly know to look out for hidden
carbs, overeating ect. What gives?

Have you been drinking more water or testing at a time different than usual?

Do you test before or after exercise?

It's hard to pinpoint, them crazy ketones!! LOL

But good on ya for going 8 months! wow!

You body becomes more efficient at using fat as a direct energy source the longer you are on a healthy low carb lifestyle - this means less ketones are produced, and the ketones that are produced are more likely to be used for energy - so they won't show up in your urine. IMHO, throw the strips away (I have never used one!;)) and concentrate on eating as natural and as healthy as possible. Above all. stop stressing about the strips! - and enjoy your new life.

Cheers,

Malcolm

Has anyone tried Propoline diet pills? If so how good are they?
