You know, I check the strips a lot just because ... well, this is weird, but I think they're fun, it's like a high-school lab experiment (OK, I'm weird) ... and I notice that I go in and out of ketosis all day long, or maybe I'm just excreting different levels of ketones at different times of the day, depending on level of hydration, whether I've worked out, time of day, etc. I still haven't figured out what the relationship is between ketosis and losing body fat: From what I understand, you can be in ketosis because your body is using the cream cheese you ate an hour ago -- but that won't get the fat off your thighs, will it? Anyway, the point is ... I don't think the strips give a complete picture of what's going on. And I wouldn't worry about them.
