Keto strips

[07bobber]

Been trying keto diet for about 10 days, bought some keto strips on Monday and have only seen a high ketone count twice, should it be high everyday?

Ive used keto strips while using CKD in the past and i always read really high on the strips as well. If you're worried about reading too high, just add in more carbs, but im not sure if there is an ideal range you should be aiming for

I'm not consistently reading high

Purchased those things during a previous keto diet. Never gave me a reading at all.

Have read they're notoriously unreliable.

there are different types of ketones produced, and not all types show up on the strips - I've known people on Atkins strict induction phase (under 20g a day of carbs) and the strips did not go purple for them, although they exhibited all the other signs of being in ketosis.

As lyle points out, you only get a reading for the excess you piss out. Excess! You could be very well into keto without reading a thing. They never turn for me either. Screw em!

Good to know, I have been super strict with the carbs and was getting pissed
