Great product to keep you motivated!
I was putting off buying this for a while because the pee strips just don't work. I have been doing Keto for over 5 months and just not sure if I was in or out of Ketosis. This is a great way to check and monitor what foods or how your diet impacts your Ketone levels.
If your looking to buy this here are some tips:
1. The finger prick really isn't a big deal. I was really nervous to poke a hole in my finger with the lancet but you barely feel it. The tool they give you has a button and when you push the button it pops it out and pulls it back in. No pain and barley noticeable. Even though I squint my eyes in preparation still, lol.
2. It comes with tons of paperwork and instructions making it seem a bit overwhelming, its not. I watched the quick videos on the website and it had me off and running. Now I can set it up and get results in under 30 seconds.
3. If your like me this will be addicting and the 10 strips aren't nearly enough. Your ketone levels change all day and if your not in that 1.5-3.0 range you'll probably want to figure out how to get there.
4. My first test came back at a 0.9 which was pretty disappointing because I read the ideal range is 1.5-3.0. After lot of reading I found that those higher numbers are much more common in the early stages of the diet. Most Keto adapted people are in the nutritional phase because there body is used to producing and using Ketones efficiently. Since having this for a little over a week I've come in between 0.7 - 0.9 which is fine because I'm still showing Ketone production and still losing weight. Its still motivating to try and get into that higher range so we'll see what happens =)
