HI EVERYBODY,
TODAY IS DAY FIVE. I HAVE ENERGY I HAVEN' T HAD IN YEARS MY QUESTION IS I BOUGHT THE KETOSIS STRIPS AND I AM IN THE PINK IS THIS GOOD? I KNOW PURPLE IS BEST.
THANKS
BEXTER......

The color doesn't matter-as long as there is some change, you are fine! Many people here don't even use those sticks. They aren't always that reliable.

Glad you feel good more energy with this!

Why would they not be reliable? I just bought them and wonder when you should use them and what variables make them unreliable, etc?

Thank you

I personally don't like the sticks. I think that they're just an expensive way to make yourself obsessive about one more thing. They're too addictive and I just don't buy them. I know when I'm eating right and when I'm not and I adjust myself accordingly. If you do it right, then you WILL lose weight.

Of course, that's just MHO.

Hiya Bexter!

I don't have the stix myself....I simply can tell by:
1) how I feel
2) My Breath and the taste in my mouth
3) The smell of my urine in the morning especially

The Stix might be cool...but am afraid of false readings and then freaking out about it...so I skip em!

Best to all;
Jake

I bought some when I first started, I used them a lot at first to give me an idea of what would na wouldn't work to keep me in the pink (which is good by the way). Now I just use tem once a week to make sure I am in ketosis. Once you get use to the diet you know that you will be in by what you did or didn't eat. I liked them...besides the weight loss, it gave me an indicator that what I was doing was working and therefore worth it.

A pharmacist once told me that the sticks can absorb moisture from the air every time the bottle is opened, so that if you didn't use them within a couple weeks, the rest left in there might not register a proper result.

can the sticks go expired? will they not show any change in color? my said on the bottle is expired. I thought that they might still work? what do you think?

if they are expired they probably won't give you an acurate reading. They expire by date and with time being opened.
