I used ketosticks as a sort of game...am I or aren't I...
I was in the small range throughout September and lost nothing...
I was in trace or not even showing any color...and I lost
I look for other signs that I am in fat-burning mode....
1. Urine smells particularly strong
2. Bad breath and/or taste (metalic)
3. Feel "hot" when everyone around me is cold and wearing sweathers
4. loss of appetite or less of one
5. my tummy feels flatter and I feel "slimmer"
So don't rely on those sticks as a true indicator of whether you are burning fat or not...you will see when your clothes get looser and you don't feel as hungry!
Good luck
