KETOSIS
How to Check for
Ketosis
Check for Ketones by
catching your first morning urine on the end of the ketone test strip.
There is a special chemical on the strip that will turn pink to purple
in the presence of ketones which means you are in ketosis and your body
is metabolizing fat. The chemical on the strip is sensitive to
moisture so make sure to keep the lid of the container closed at all
times. They also have a shelf life of 6 months after opened, so
write the date on the container after opening.
What are
Ketones?
Ketones are molecules
that are a bi-product of fat metabolism. Your body can function
just as well off ketones instead of glucose. In fact the
heart, kidney and brain prefer to run off of ketones instead of
glucose.
So while in ketosis people may notice an improvement in energy and that
they think a little more clearly. Normal ketosis will also stabilize
blood sugar and help prevent breakdown of healthy muscle tissue.
Ketostix Tips
Over time the ketostix
may show trace or negative as your body becomes accustomed to the high
protein hcG diet. This can be normal adjustment, and as long as
your hunger remains low and weight loss continues this is fine.
Also note that ketones spill into the urine only when there is excess
in the blood, so during exercise or drinking high amounts of water they
can become trace or negative.
Dark purple on the
ketostix does not mean you will lose weight any faster. Often
it may be an indication of dehydration.
For dehydration and
for our Slimxpress Weight Loss Program, we suggest Energx Water!
