Ketone Stix, who has used them?

Yes. If you're following a CKD you just check the strips in the morning and that will tell you if you're in ketosis and burning fats as fuel. Then you don't have to worry about fats being stored as bodyfat throughout the day. Provided that your carbs are down as low as possible.

You must spread Karma before giving some to alex again.

Makavelli likes as close to 0 as you can get. The Bodyopus and similar diets have a maximum of 20 grams of carbs, but when you're just starting from a high/normal carb diet it's best to go as low as you can for the first few weeks. Ideally the diet is 70% fat 30% protein to get the most out of it, but I could never get to that ratio. As long as you're in ketosis it works just as good.

I couldn't find any sample diets online, but here's a good crash course site on CKD.

Towards the middle of the page it gives a pretty good summary of bodyopus.

I got the Keto stix at CVS and I have started the diet,kinda hard getting used to eating 70% fat and 30% protein though.I am having a hard time finding foods that I like with these ratios.
