How to use ketone test strips & how to read the results 

Baby_loveKittens 😭😭 I was thinking the same thing

🤣🤣🤣

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.

Why i am laughing rn 🤣🤣🤣

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Because he is videoing through a magnify glass

Hahahahaha

Sarah McNeil 😂

LOL!

i've been following the agoge diet and it definitely works great

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 keep researching Sounds right Welcoming to cleaning out your body from processed foods

@@CarlosGonzales-ly8dq have a look at what Dr Berg or Dr Josh Axe have a lot of RU-vid videos on Keto …they will for sure have some on Keto flu….yes it’s just the body detoxing..normal .

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

OMG laughing so hard!!!

Whew! Cool...thought I was having a flashback. 🤣🤙

Yup, mine too.

Charlotte Mann Maybe he just wanted to be really, REALLY sure. 😎

I have the slim fast test strips and they say check color at 40 seconds and ignore color changes after 40 seconds so its just different brands have different test speeds for the chemicals they use to test.

Damon Hicks I just got those today! How long do you have to keep the strip submerged? Or is it just in and out?

@@anapau1860 just merge in and out as in the video , if u keep it may dissolve the reagent

Nana Shvili Good question

you do

We find fasted first thing in morning gives best results

Some people hit it in 24 hrs, some folks its takes over a week. 1st day is a good thing! 😀

Whitney Pyant me too

Hello Michael. It should not make any difference, you are not screening for infection, which is where the collection method counts.

Yes

After 4 week It should had started if you were doing the diet correctly

Moderate is good really good good job

Darker

😂😂❤

Thank you for feedback

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.

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?

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

This is what i was thinking too?

Yeah

Ya me too omg

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.

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.
