Today I went to the Walgreen's Pharmacy to buy some more ketostix.  Ketostix are test strips that measure the levels of ketones in the urine.  When you have large levels of ketones in the urine it means your body is burning fat.  When you dramatically decrease your carb intake, which is less than 50grams of carbs per day, your body will switch from burning carbs to burning fat.  I checked this morning and I’m still in ketosis, which means I’m a fat burning machine!!! :-) Thank goodness.  My goal is to get it to turn to a dark purple (large levels of ketones) and this morning it was more of a light pink (trace levels of ketones).  Right now I’m losing at a rate of 1-2lbs a week.  I’m adding in more cardio and hopefully that will keep the weight loss coming.  What tools do you use to measure your weight loss?
