How To Use Ketone Test Strips

In this video, I will show you how to use ketone test strips. 
(LINKS TO MY 100% FREE COURSE BELOW!!)
Ketone bodies are a form of energy used by the body when glucose (carbohydrates) in the blood is low, and fat becomes the primary fuel source. 

There are three types of ketones:

Acetone
Acetoacetate
Beta-Hydroxybutyrate
Ketone strips are used to test the urine for acetone and acetoacetate.

There are two ways to use the ketone test strips:

Directly urinate on the indicator on the test strip
Urinate into a cup, dip the ketone strip quickly in the urine.

Thanks, this is the first video that actually answered the question I've been asking.

[ishficici]

Very well explained to cover a wide range !

[dolllicious]

This is by far the best vid on this subject. Thank you!

When is the best time to test? First morning empty. Second morning empty? After a meal? Not after a meal? I understand from your video that ketones change during the day. So does blood sugar. But by looking at your two strips, at opposite ends of the spectrum, are you in a state of ketosis overall or not? What constitutes actually BEING in Ketosis?

[Lexiwest]

Thank you so much for this video! I have been wondering why the inconsistency of the strips and was getting frustrated in my progress. I feel much better now knowing my various color changes on the test strips are normal. Great video!

I am still looking for someone to show the numbers and tell exactly what they mean

[gillianbristol]

I'm lactose intolerant. I CAN'T eat any dairy. What do you suggest?

[jsavannah]

Thank you for this! Today is day 6 of keto for me with no cheating. Had coffee w/ half & half, no other food or exercise. Strip shows slightly darker than 4.0. Now that I've watched your video and got my results, I think I could have saved the $10 I spent on strips. If I'm eating according to plan, that's enough to know I'm in ketosis. Oh well. It was kind of neat to try but unnecessary.

I have a question. On the ketone strips' colour scale, the printing dye seems to be a lot more pink than what the strips look like, which makes it more of a value/tone (degree of darkening)-based guesswork than colour hue-based. Most of times, the strip does change colour ever so slightly, which makes it exceedingly hard to determine if it's trace (0.5) or even negative. Am I correct in assuming that, as long as the test pad changes colour at all from the palest yellow (when dry), even if only the slightest amount, there IS some ketosis going on?
Hope the question makes sense

[yehbuddy]

So the lighter the less you are in ketosis and the darker the more you are in ketosis? Lost lost lost

[js_disney]

I'm doing water only fasting. Would these work in this case?

[dantemikey]

So do u recommend the strips early in morning ??

[ww-town]

Beat video I’ve seen out there. My levels are constantly dark. (Moderate) would be the term. Is that ok?

[hamidnia]

Most important point is missing
How long does it take to get the read out after we peed on stick

[sultanboqami]

Im in Keto diet for 9 days and I did the test it's so dark almost 16 or more . Is it dangerous ?

[Dingo]

For me, light color in the early morning and darker color after meal.

[theerdhac]

My keto strips bottle has readings in mg/dl. What would be optimal level in mg/dl?

[Donna-cckt]

Arrrg! So where do I want to be on the test to know I’m optimal??? Sorry, slow learner here.

[chriskowalski]

Where can l buy them?..Are they a prescribed item or can l buy them off the shelf?...Can't seem to find any info on this...

[jamiribera]

This still doesn't explain WHAT color you should be at in order to be in Ketosis? What if you're NOT in ketosis? What color would the strip be? I am brand new at this. Should your strip be dark or light?
