I was wondering how may people have used the strips? They seem sort of expensive but sometimes I feel so doubtful about what my body is doing that I'm tempted to buy some for the piece of mind that I am doing things right and staying on track. I've tried to use Fitday.com to keep track of stuff, but it is very frustrating to me that they are not set up to calculate ECC, so I still feel in the dark on my carb count from their site.

I've sort of been hovering somewhere between induction and moving on to the next phase. I've added in some "frankenfoods" (I love that name, lol!) but avoided adding in any fruit yet, with the exception of the half a lemon I made a REAL glass of lemonade with the other day (that was was heaven). I would be willing to go back into strict induction if I discovered I needed to. (well with the exception of a shake here and there, when I PMS I crave milk and the shakes seem to stave that off.)

Also, does anyone know of a cheaper source for the strips???
