Good for you!


And now for my standard public service announcement about ketostix.....

Do NOT depend on these! They are great for encouragement, but they are not the end-all indicator of ketosis. Also, color doesn't necessarily matter and here's why: if you're not drinking enough water, the ketone bodies will build up in your urine resulting in a darker color. Conversely, it you're very well hydrated, the sticks may look lighter.

I'm not saying don't use them. But keep in mind how and why they work.

For more information, here's a great article:
