Ketosis
« on: January 26, 2011, 04:23:08 PM »
Since I have been trying to stay off the scale I have begun to use the Ketosis sticks to see if I am losing.  I have been in the deep purple for about a week now and was excited, until today.  Today it is showing as negative and I have had only 1 carb all day.  Here is what I have had:

Breakfast and Lunch:
1/3 cup of shredded cheese made into a pancake like crunchy goodness:-) 1 carb for both as my cheese is >1 per serving.

Snack:

Russell Stovers Sugar Free Toffee Bars  24 carbs 1 fiber and 23 sugar alcohols = 0 carbs

To drink I have had 2 diet pepsi's and 2 bottles of water.

I know that if you stop seeing a weight loss you should cut out the sugar free candies, but would it show up as negative ketosis on the stick?
Either way I am putting up the candy, but was curious to know what everyone thought.

Me too, G8orgirl!... I have never registered higher than trace for ketones.
Sometimes it's negative, but I don't worry about it.
Just keep living the F2S lifestyle and your fat will have no choice but go away.  ;)
Mine is disappearing! :)
What you do today is what matters!
