When I've done keto in the past, I didn't use the strips (lazy) but I had definite....aromatic indicators. I had to shower 2-3x a day because I smelled like nail polish remover if I got the least bit sweaty, and pee with a window open! If you do decide to test with strips, I'm definitely interested in hearing how you feel about them as a tool.

I have used the keto strips - and it always tells me low ketones...some folks get way in to it and do blood testing...it is expensive. If the scale is moving down, then I am burning fat so I am happy enough. Good loss! it is working!

i've used keto sticks for a few years. the new atkins doesn't recommend them, but i find that they help me keep motivated. i want to see that pink/purple that tells me i was good yesterday! i normally register light to moderate ketones. they can get a bit expensive, but i buy the pharmacy store brand then cut them in half.

I use the sticks, but not necessarily every day. If I tried something new the day before or went over my target carbs, it is a quick check to see how much difference it made. I rarely get over the moderate level on the new Atkins 20. Normally it's a trace or small. The original Atkins diet was much lower in carbs during induction, so the sticks were usually darker. I think it's easier to stay with this version, and there is much less guilt if you slip a bit.
I'd get them at first to help you know how your body is going to respond to carbs. After a few days, you will wake up with that ketosis taste in your mouth, which is almost as good as the sticks. I think the purple stick is a great motivator, though.
