Reddit mentions of Smackfat Keto Strips - Keto Strips Urine Test - High Quality 100 Strips

I had a friend once who was really into keto. He lost a TON of weight on the diet and he was obsessed with whether or not he was in ketosis. He even went as far as to buy keto strips to measure whether or not his body was in ketosis.

According to him and from what I remember lurking /r/keto years back, it takes 3 days of eating under 20g of carbs a day to enter ketosis. Again, I would definitely recommend asking /u/awesomejohnson as I am definitely no expert when it comes to keto.

Oh and by the way, I'm a guy :)

Here is a great resource for keto. Click the menu at the top right, and you’ll learn all about it, plus you’ll come across some great recipes.

Buy some ketone test strips to test and make sure you’re in keto, and walla.

Wish you well on this journey too.

Yeah, pretty much same thing. I don't use it, but if you really want to be sure, [there are strips to measure your ketone levels. Pretty cheap. I found these on amazons, but I'm pretty sure others work too] (https://www.amazon.com/Smackfat-Ketone-Strips-Measurement-Adaptation/dp/B00SODYZQK)

Even though it's unsubstantiated, I'm pretty sure there's no switch for ketosis. It'll gradually increase the longer your fast is, and it'll be easier with LCHF. The more you do IF, the more your body will get used to training in the fasted state and using fat as energy, so hopefully, you won't feel lightheaded later on. Give it a week or two.

I'm not sure either. But I think it might be worth it for you to buy some pee strips so you know for sure!

100 strips for $11: pee here

You're probably just managing your electrolytes better than I am, don't worry about it! (: If you want to, you can get ketone strips to check.

Buy these

Cheapest I have found come off of Amazon, there are quite a few options (like this). Maybe you can find a Canadian seller so the shipping charges won't be so bad. Also when you get some you can easily double the number of strips you have by cutting them in half length-wise with a pair of scissors. There is still more then enough of the test patch to get a clean reading. That being said I agree with others here that you should not depend on these long term as the results can be misleading.

https://www.amazon.com/Smackfat-Ketone-Strips-Measurement-Adaptation/dp/B00SODYZQK - to check if you are in ketosis. Relatively accurate in my experience

You can also buy exogenous ketones; to help get into keto or help keep you IN keto (I dont really believe in them because I don't seem to have a problem going into keto)

About your dieting plan. You aren't losing real weight; lets say you lost 10 pounds in 6 days; you probably lost 2.5 pounds max of real body weight; in a couple days; assuming you eat normally, you should gain back 6 to 8 pounds. If you want to be in ketosis; why not do a low carb intermittant fasting plan. Fasting for 6 days for weightloss, isn't the smartest thing. That 2.5 pounds of weight loss was probably alot of muscle. If you have the mental fortitude to go 6 days fasting; you absolutely have the requisite mental strength to follow a healthier mostly fat loss weightloss plan.

So calories in have to be < than calories burned in order for you to lose weight, but with the Keto diet many find that they have to make sure that they're in ketosis to get any benefit. When I did my last keto cycle (I lost 55 pounds with keto + moderate exercise) I found that for me, if I ate things that had even sugar alcohols in them it would push me out of ketosis. Buy the strips, they're cheap, fast and they definitely help you figure out how your body reacts. Again, this isn't a foolproof method, it's just a way to get more information from your body as to how it's reacting to the diet.

I definitely recommend these Keto Strips.

As long as the color matches any color on the spectrum your body is in Ketosis.

I don't really log my food so I don't know my macros, but I do count my daily carb intake and I make sure that stays under 15. In most cases I only eat about 8 carb a day max. I don't log my carbs, but I do a general calculation of the calories I intake by looking at the nutritional info and doing mathematics in my head. I only mostly just eat protein and fat.

I use this for determining whether I'm in keto or not.

They claim this is accurate and the reviews seem alright. So I thought it's somewhat accurate.

How is it meaningless ? https://www.amazon.ca/Smackfat-Ketone-Strips-Measurement-Adaptation/dp/B00SODYZQK

It's a diet where you have to pee on a stick. https://www.amazon.com/Smackfat-Ketone-Strips-Measurement-Adaptation/dp/B00SODYZQK/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1484978228&sr=8-1&keywords=keto+test

Honestly, if actual ketosis is your goal, just measure. Urine ketone strips are dirt cheap.
