    Urine analysis strips

    Does anyone use keytone strips to check they are staying on track/if what they are eating is as low carb as pos/ are continuing in ketosis??
    If yes, when and how often do you use them?
    Any advice would be greatful

    I don't think I've ever heard anyone mention using them. Because the Dukan diet involves a very light ketosis (because of the oatbran and higher carb content than VCLDs or Atkins), they'd possibly not show a viable colour anyway (or so I read somewhere at some time).

    They tend to be a waste of money for even the lowest of low carbers as they aren't particularly accurate. Love the steak idea!

    Weirdly so I was reading about this last night as i was looking up how quickly we go out of ketosis if we eat carbs. Anyway, the answers i found included someone using these strips and an answer to hers was that the strips are not accurate as they only measure the ketones in our bodies not actually that our bodies are still in ketosis. that it takes a few hours to show anyway.

    I found that it says that if you have an average of 30g carbs and 150g protein your body will stay in ketosis, I don't know how much we eat in carbs but am sure we are under this.

    Love this 'trick', Petal. Lick the back of your hand and let it dry. Sniff!

    If it's very stinky, you're in ketosis!!

    I never said it would be easy, I said it would be worth it!

    I had some left over so thought i'd try them as they always showed me to be in ketosis before and they always come back negative since being on Dukan, but i am definitely losing weight
    Trying to finally lose the baby weight on the Dukan diet
