carbgrl 119 Posted March 28, 2012 You can buy them at the pharmacy. They usually cost about $10-$15 for about 50 test strips. They're usually near the diabetic section. Diabetics use them but, low carb dieters do too. I used to work at a weightloss clinic (ha, ha) years ago and they used them there and I think it may have been mentioned in Atkins book(s). The strip changes colors when you're burning fat for energy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
desertmom 297 Posted March 28, 2012 I do and let me tell you,the experience with them is weird. Some mornings it is dark purple and I am not down any weight.Then,like this morning,it shows no ketones but I am down another pound. In the evenings it shows no ketones,I seem to have them only in the morning. I am using them because I had them and dont think I will find a better time to use them...LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lissa 2,631 Posted March 28, 2012 I don't use them. Taking my measurements works better for me when I'm stalled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
