If it’s dark, can it be dangerous? The only info it has on the instructions is that you might be dehydrated if it’s really dark... I’m to confused so which color is the one that’s good to be on?
People always talk about getting a six pack, I just wanted a flat stomach. But the keto diet was unbearable for me. I tried the Agoge diet and so far have awesome results. Highly recommended!
I simply cannot imagine keto/carnivore being unbearable, but every body is different. Don't know what agoge diet is but I'm gonna go look it up. Hope you're having great success with it!
@@jordazmo19 I started keto over a week ago and the last two days I’ve been dealing with what seems to be “Keto Flu”. I can’t hold food or water even in small servings. My stomach aches like crazy. It may have been too much mct oil or rushing into ketosis too quickly. Any tips are welcome.
@@CarlosGonzales-ly8dq have a look at what Dr Berg or Dr Josh Axe have a lot of RUclips videos on Keto …they will for sure have some on Keto flu….yes it’s just the body detoxing..normal .
LOL. Well, when someone uploads a video onto youtube, the user has the option to select a 'auto focus' feature. If this is clicked, there will be this nauseating effect.
I thought the video was good. However, reading the comments lots of people are not understanding this video. I just used mine test strip today. First time. Negative. But at least I have the strips. I started keto 12 months ago. All over the place. Quite hard because of my drinking issues and toxic people around. I have not given up! Because I really feel so much better than before. But feeling sad. Was I ever is ketosis or not? However considering to purchase the keyto blower. From America. $100 approximately. Breath tester😊 Good luck to everyone. I believe we are on the right track😊🌹🇭🇲
I was confused as well. When I started I was only eating moderate carbs (2 english muffin sandwiches and 2 whole wheat tortillas or about 1 potato. My first test strip looked like it didn't change at all other than being wet. Since then I have cut curbs almost to nil other than what is trace amounts in my other food. I have been eating just ground turkey, peas, carrots, berries and protein powder, 2 cups coffee and tons of water for 2 weeks and it still looks the same as the first time. I do an hour on bike at home and about an hour of resistance spread througout the day. I wonder if the strips are faulty...maybe I will get my dog to pee on one to see that it works. Some of the info on line says that you should be in marker #2 to be in ketosis while others are saying that the strip should be darker meaning higher ketones. I think maybe I am not getting enough dietary fat so will increase that with fattier meat products and see if that changes the strip.
Any luck getting in ketosis? Maybe the carrots in your diet are keeping you out of ketosis. They do say no “root” plants. Like underground growing plants
3 going into 4 weeks on the Keto Diet, lost a few pounds nothing I hadn’t before. My urine sample didn’t change colour. So that means no ketones present? And that it needs to be darker....right? Just watched Dr Berg not in Ketosis he says a few examples yet to do “intermittent fasting” is one of them!
Basically the darker the color the more fat you are burning because you are in ketosis and if it is not the 2nd last 2 darkest colors follow the ratio for 75% fats 20%protien and 5%carbs. Eat lots of avocado because it has no taste after putting it in the fridge and boost up you physical activity level.
I’m the second last to the last darkness but I do a 16 hour fast everyday and drinks tons of water. Actually I have one glass of coffee in the morning and then it’s literally just water all day. Is it okay ?
my first day on keto diet and i took a test just for kicks thinking it would be negative i was already at the third color level im confused i didnt keep the strip in to long i took it out right away
After reading all the comments, Am I suppose to have color or not? Does color means I'm in ketosis and burning fat or just the opposite. I've been on this for 2 weeks now and it's not moved in color from the "trace" mode. More color, more sugar, or what?
😑I NEED HELP PLZ😑 PLZ READ MY COMMENT urine strips do not detect Beta-hydroxybutyric acid a type of ketone bodies i confused about that and i am a student year 2 medical lab nd i dont know about these ketone bodies deeply so is there somebody knows how to detect it(Beta-hydroxybutyric acid)by using reagents plz tell me😢
you can't only acetoacetic acid can be detected. If you have ketones then your gonna have all 3 ketone bodies. So if you do a test and it comes up positive that means that the sample has acetoacetic acid, acetone and beta hydroxy butryic acid

Your blood sugar using a glucose test will indicate some info. Like if it’s above 120 two hours after eating you may be diabetic. Also there are other physical symptoms of diabetes (for example, skin conditions) that may indicate the disease. Contact a doctor to be sure, I’m just speaking only for myself as a diabetic.
Agree, the ketone level will vary, trace to moderate in most people, if you are converting all the aceto acetate then you are not only keto adapted but on a very low total calorie load and super strict.
perenceja Thank you for your comment. These are ketone test strips. They do not detect glucose (sugar) . To detect sugar you would need to use a glucose test strip. With the ketone test strips the darker the colour is on the test pad, the higher the level of ketones in the urine sample.
perenceja I did that test more than tiwice and it came up purple, maybe that's why i feel a lil weak during the day. How long until my body adapt and I'm fulll of energy?
+Richard Trujillo What is it that you are trying to accomplish? Are you testing for blood sugar results or are you trying to lose weight? You wouldn't happen to be on the Atkins diet would you? The ketosis strips are for the purpose of measuring the ketone in your system, which is when you burn off more fat and it involves your insulin too, because of the carbs you are taking in. You should really check with your doctor for whatever you are trying to accomplish and you'll have a better perspective about it. If you are trying to measure your blood sugar insulin, then it's best if you purchase a blood sugar kit that will measure your insulin.

I guess I should have read the instructions,I’ve just been peeing on it then tossing and wondering why I’m not in ketosis, thanks for the info
When is the best time to do the test please? Before or after meal? Thanks
I love how the image goes all wonky.
hello, does it matter if tested before or after eating?
Nana Shvili Good question
Cool underwater vidoe
OMG laughing so hard!!!
Whew! Cool...thought I was having a flashback. 🤣🤙
so what exactly does mild ketosis mean (the result in the middle of the chart). Do I burn fat for fuel at this stage or not?
you do
I just ordered mine for ketogenic diet.
Whitney Pyant me too
I’m the second last to the last darkness but I do a 16 hour fast everyday and drinks tons of water. Actually I have one glass of coffee in the morning and then it’s literally just water all day. Is it okay ?
So what should the colour be to be in Ketosis? ..
What's best time to test, after eating? hour after ?
We find fasted first thing in morning gives best results
Anyone know what it means when the strip goes really dark/grey? Many thanks 😊 🇬🇧❤
image is blur !!!!!!!! and you must say what time is better to test ketones ...
my first day on keto diet and i took a test just for kicks thinking it would be negative i was already at the third color level im confused i didnt keep the strip in to long i took it out right away
Some people hit it in 24 hrs, some folks its takes over a week. 1st day is a good thing! 😀
my ketostix say to wait 15 seconds
Yup, mine too.
I'm diabetic type 2 in good A1C ranges bit trying to get in ketosis. I'm looking to see if you should do a mid strram urine catch or first right off.
Hello Michael. It should not make any difference, you are not screening for infection, which is where the collection method counts.
I got the darkest color just now
why does my urine keto strip read dark purple but then one min later my blood ketones are only 0.9.....im confused
I been on moderate for 3 1/2 months now, Am I in Keto or not?
Yes
After 4 week It should had started if you were doing the diet correctly
Moderate is good really good good job
After reading all the comments, Am I suppose to have color or not? Does color means I'm in ketosis and burning fat or just the opposite. I've been on this for 2 weeks now and it's not moved in color from the "trace" mode. More color, more sugar, or what?
LILLIAN DAVIS answer is at 2.15
no i test moderate and ive been in ketosis a while
Very helpful video. Thanks.
Mine is DARK 8.0 am I fat burning yet?!
Thanks sir this vedio was very helpful🙂
I want to know about the numbers and what the H do they mean????"?????
What if you add a silica gel desiccant in the container??
It still isn't clear. Is darker better or lighter?
Darker
My test comes as negative every time, and I did the same thing as him
On my test strips and most from what i have heard, the wait time before comparing colour should be 15 seconds.
So if I test me piss and it's the first after 5 days keto is that good ?? Or is the last shade good ?
very helpful . thanks
Woah! I'm tripping
Good information thank you
So the darker the color the more sugar in your system? and if the lighter the color does that mean you have less sugar in the system? please explain.
Hi Ketone, not glucose, they are separate tests completely, ketones do not necessarily indicate high glucose levels in non diabetics.
Huh? Sugar in the system?
Thanks man.
Felt like I was having a flashback...
😂😂❤
Not very good, doesn't say WHEN to do test, pre or post eating?
Nice vedio to understand
Thank you brother.
Why is it blurry
because you been drinking!

I tried using this for Thc and I was like damn I passed after 10 days of not smoking 😂😂
How to you know if your in keto or your a diabetic
Your blood sugar using a glucose test will indicate some info. Like if it’s above 120 two hours after eating you may be diabetic. Also there are other physical symptoms of diabetes (for example, skin conditions) that may indicate the disease. Contact a doctor to be sure, I’m just speaking only for myself as a diabetic.
Always after 2 dayes in moderate. Seems fast
Thank you for feedback
this will only show something if you are not yet keto adapted. Once fully adapted, it will show nothing.
not true i am in ketosis dropping weight consistently and always test
moderate
Agree, the ketone level will vary, trace to moderate in most people, if you are converting all the aceto acetate then you are not only keto adapted but on a very low total calorie load and super strict.
If I were using them to stay out of ketosis, would I just eat carbs right away if there are a lot of ketones present?
I say it’s good to use when you first start. Good indicator that you’re on the right track
Your bottle bends a lot. 😂
So then, the darker the test strips get, then the more sugar in your system?
perenceja Thank you for your comment. These are ketone test strips. They do not detect glucose (sugar) . To detect sugar you would need to use a glucose test strip. With the ketone test strips the darker the colour is on the test pad, the higher the level of ketones in the urine sample.
+Valuemed Medical Supplies So if the test strip turns purple you're in ketosis and burning fat?
Richard Trujillo Yes, that is right. If you want a clearer answer you can always google it.
