Perfect Keto Ketone Test Strips Kit for Testing Ketones on Low Carb Ketogenic Diet, Monitor Ketosis, Keto Diet Tracker, Urine Test Strips, 100 CT

I just started the keto diet 8 days ago and . . . down 8 pounds. I understand at this point it's water/inflammation but in 20 years I've not had that kind of success on ANY diet -- the weight always held steady after a couple days and then started the slow upward climb. So I decided I should get serious about this and figure out exactly where I was at and what I was doing (ha!) I ordered these strips because let's face it . . . no one WANTS to prick their finger for a blood test, and the breath tests are just too dang expensive. I've used these a couple days and they couldn't be easier. Just dip them in your pee, count to 40 and check the color. Works just like water tests for an aquarium if you've tried them. And even better -- MUCH more affordable than the other two options! Thanks!

My husband and I have been on a keto kick for the past year and it is truly becoming a way of life. We both feel better. Aside from losing weight, which is the main reason we started, we also feel like we have more energy and I can certainly say for myself that I no longer experience heartburn or other GI discomfort I used to deal with when I was not on a low carb/keto diet. Anway, these strips are fantastic! They came in the mail a few days ago on time and perfectly packaged. I have used other brands in the past and these work just as well. They are lower in price compared to others and that is absolutely wonderful. These strips are helpful to have while on a low carb diet as it does help signify if changes or adjustments need to be made in the diet. The customer service of this brand is top-notch! I truly appreciate it. I know that these strips along with my chocolate sea salt ketones will help me continue to be successful. I will be reviewing the ketone supplement separately after a few more days of use but I've been able to drop 2 pounds over the past 4 days with the help of the strips in conjunction with the supplement :).

So you pee on them and shae, easy enough. Wait 40 seconds, easily done. Match up the color on the end to the color chart. Well, that part isn't super easy for me to do. I'm not color blind, but I have a hard time with shades sometimes. And it says something like after 40 seconds to disregard if it changes color further. I had a hard time noticing if it was doing this or not. BUT, on the plus side, I know by the beginning shade roughly what level of ketosis I'm in. So it still basically does the job. I suppose if you want something easier to read you should invest in a blood testing kit/monitor. I'd buy them again though as the price is decent enough and they work to at least let me know that I'm in the ballpark.

Pro: I love the convenience of these and I find that you don't need 40 seconds to read (unless perhaps you're 'wishing to be in ketosis"). I don't use a cup. Just mid-stream I'm not OCD (heh he says) but when starting Keto (2.5# per week with Chronometer) I bought a meter so I could track accurately. That worked fine - and I am/was also pre-diabetic. So I was pricking and measuring both ketones and glucose daily. I didn't use the meter app much - but tracked hard until I got into the 1-2 range. But then when I pretty much stayed there - ? wOw, Ok, I'm not a wimp but still the process, cost ($1.20 for both strips per day), to find that (1) My Ketosis was solid close to 1.5, and Glucose was doing well and trending out of pre-diabetes (still anxious to see my A1C), So I Was still loving the meter - but - pondering the strips - and Keto Mojo changed their meter design - I started looking. Checked around. And found these. PRO: Quick and easy to use - fast enough unless perhaps you're at the low end of the scale. CON: Wish the color chart more closely matched the strips. It's not a huge issue - but I've never found an indicator strip (including aquarium) that closely matched. Here it's mostly hue but still. So you won't know if you're 1.4 or 1.7 but more that you're say > 1 and < 2. Which unless you're dialing in a meal is just fine. Summary: If you want to know exactly spot check - then get the meter. it'll also help if you need glucose at that time. If you want to know if you're doing well in Ketosis - then these are far less expensive and very adequate for tracking your continued success on Ketosis.

I bought these before I started keto for the first time. I tested negative before I started. I did one day of keto and in the morning on day 2, I did this test out of curiosity and I was a little below moderate keto. ALREADY? How is that possible?! I retested, and the next test had me trace amounts. A third one had me mild. Hmmm. Now I have been keto for almost a month and I test in the furtherest category. Either my body just loves fat (you are what you eat? if the shoe fits) and my body can immediately convert to keto, or these strips are incredibly sensitive, or these strips are just wrong and calibrated up, I'm not sure. My gf tried them and she has been following keto principles too, but not really that specific and crazy, and she still tested moderate. We follow the directions and time it for 40 seconds, and still this is the outcome. We also noticed that the tips of the test strips are not white like when they came, but a little pink. That happened almost instantly. We have been very careful to take a strip out and immediately and tightly close the bottle. So I am not sure why this is happening? CONCLUSION: Use this to gauge whether you are in ketosis, and you can probably gauge just barely or really in it. But do not expect anything accurate or consistent, just that there are some ketones or there are no ketones--that is really all. I guess I had a little unrealistic expectations.

Works as it should

Poor readings, unreliable. I'm starting to be able to sense what level of ketosis I'm in. 2 other brands of keto test strips reflect where I feel I'm at and match each other on results. This brand is way out every time.

Works as effectively as per directions. Excellent service with speedy delivery.

I was happy with the quality and quick results. I use these for diet purposes and feel they are accurate.

24 hours in now. Test strips just go grey, no colour change.
