Ketones

Anyone using Ketone ufind test strips to check to see if burning fat? I thought it might cheer me up when the scale is not moving.

Where do u get those from? i've been stalled for 3weeks+, maybe that'll cheer me up.

At the pharmacy. A pharmacist will be happy to assist you.

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.

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

I don't use them. Taking my measurements works better for me when I'm stalled.
