I was just wondering if anyone bought these and used them during induction? I've been thinking about it because I'm just one of those I wanna make sure type of person.

I did, I used them for about 2 weeks...then quit. It was the right colour, and I was loosing weight. The only real indication I needed was seeing the scale go down, not the purple stick. But thats just my opinion....I did buy them, out of curiousity, and to just be sure I was doing it right. I still have some left if you dont want to spend the $$, I'll mail them to you if you want.

they aren't always accurate. some people lose loads of weight and the strips never show being in ketosis....you can tell if you have bad breath and such...

See I don't think I have the bad breathe or anything. I lost the first nine pounds like whamo, and now I haven't in a couple days. It's just my OCD showing through.

Robin- Thanks for the offer! By the time I would get them it would probably be time to move on to another phase though. Thanks!

I've never used them. And I never had the bad breath but heard about that. Don't get discouraged Audrey you're doing great!! Keep up the great work!!

Audrey, I used them and thought they were great. I was pretty sure I was in ketosis, but being the paranoid person I am, I wanted to know for sure. Every time I used the strip and it turned the right color, it made me feel more confident that I was doing everything right. And if I slipped up a little and ate some carbs, I could find out if it kicked me completely out of ketosis or whatever and I could do what I needed to get back on track. After a while I just kind of quit using them because I learned to know my body and what it was doing better... I'll still use them once in a great while.

I think they are a great tool and highly recommend them. By the way, I never had the bad breath or anything when I was in ketosis.

Just remember, you don't have to use them every time you pee or even every day. I know you're a little OCD (like me), but you don't need to go overboard.

Hope that helps!

I am doing the Core diet on Weight Watchers and I have lost 6.5lbs in 3 weeks. I am a little upset I thought I would have lost more because I am so young, I am 20, but I guess the good thing is that I have lost inches and my clothes are fitting better. I also work out and I am supper excited because I think my body started to go through ketosis today because I got that awful taste in my mouth. I was really into eating right and working out in high school and constantly had that taste in my mouth, it made me feel great because i knew my body was losing weight. If anyone else knows alot about this please let me know because everywhere I read says something different.
