palumbo keto

[nakavalna]

so im 6 days into the palumbo keto diet...following it to the key...i started at 210 11% bf and as of today im 200.5 obviosly theres somthing positive happening...though im worried because i got those keto stix andpissed on them and it shows im slightly above negative... does that mean im not in ketosis? or barely in it? should igive it a few more days....its kind of confusing...as an avid weightlifter etc im experienced in looking at results not numbers and piss stix lol but its still nagging at the back of my mind...any help would be appreciated....(yes i know that its 9 lbs of water i lost)

If i heard correctly, what affects the reading on the keto stix is the level of hydration in your body. If your in ketosis, your in ketosis. Someone correct me if i'm wrong....

Please don't get caught up on keto stix. It doesn't really matter much any way. You don't have to be in "ketosis" for the diet to be doing it's job. Anyhow, as long as you piss trace amounts of ketones you are technically in ketosis.

Good luck on the palumbo diet. I ran it for a while, and while it worked okay for a while, I am not a huge fan. There are a lot of holes in that diet, in my opinioin.

ya i was told those stix are shit and that you may be in ketosis even if it doesnt show up on the stick...i forget why but i read something on it a few weeks back...like sonic said if your seeing results then who gives a shit about the keto stix just base everything on results...you should be seeing progress every week to 2 weeks and if your not then something has to change

Palumbo doesn't use the stix either.
