Am I in Ketosis?

I have been on a Keto diet for almost 2 months. I have lost 21 pounds. However, when I use urine test strips it only registers trace ketones. What am I doing wrong?

  • You might be drinking too much water for the ketones to register. The strips don't show much when I'm fully hydrated, but get darker on days when I forget to drink enough water.  Based on your weight loss, I'm guessing you are in ketosis.

    I purchased a blood meter. Straight on accurate. The strips are okay for general use. The meter is really handy to keep your mind from wondering if your doing it correctly. Piece of mind for me. Actually, I consider it a motivator checking here and there. The strips I use are terribly expensive however.
