Ketone Stix, who has used them?

[Agent Dana Scully]

I have 'em, read the instructions, and it has a spectrum with beige on one side, and dark purple on the other side.

It says after you dip the stix in urine to check the color in comparison to the chart after 40 seconds, but the instructions doesn't indicate which color means you're in ketosis.

I'm assuming if your urine makes the reagent part of the stick turn purple that you're in deep ketosis right?

Are you losing fat?

 

[Agent Dana Scully]

Yeah, i've lost 15 lbs thus far, but i cheated big time like 2 days ago, stopped eating carbs, so i want to see if im in ketosis again. I just bought these stix yesterday.

Up....

If the beige turns deep purple, you're in ketosis. If it stays the same color you're still burning carbs as your primary energy source. Not sure if that cleared anything up....

BTW you can just pee on it if you want or run it past your stream. It may not be as accurate if you are borderline but it works just fine if your urine has a ton of ketones in it

CVS or any other pharmacy. Usually around $13.

So they will actually tell me if my body is in Ketosis or in fat utilization mode accurately?
