A Great easy way to check out those Ketones...., 20 Jun. 2016

These work - on my low carb diet I was showing up a happy purple when the Ketones were flowing - following a long car journey and a large handful of Midget Gems... This morning I had returned to beige...Very simple - very effective - not strictly necessary, but good to know what's happening in there!

These work great, 31 July 2016

Not sure how accurate these things really are in the medical sense but they do give a good indication of where you're at. I'm new to the keto thing so first of all I wanted to know if I had any keytones in me at all and I've tried these out when my urine is less and more diluted with water and they definitely work. And that's all I was really looking for. A cheap and quick way to get an indication of where I was at any particular time. And for that they work great.

They have their place, 30 July 2016

I know that Ketostix have a bad name in some quarters and they aren't entirely reliable, but I think they are a good starting point. I always found the second testing of the day to be most reliable, and then just before bedtime when acetones and naturally rise. I was using them with a ketogenic diet and went on to buy a breathalyser which was much better, but I would never have done that had I not been playing around with Ketostix for a year beforehand.
