In and out of ketosis?

[top]

I am almost done with my first week of CKD. I hit Ketosis on the third day, but I was curious if it was possible to still be in Ketosis but not have it register on the keto stix. I check at different times during the day and sometimes it registers and others it does not. It seems to not show up after a workout. Am I just burning up all available ketones so they dont show up or what?

Thanks/TP

You do not have to show a positive reading on Ketosix for your body to be in the state of Ketosis. While, it's usually excess ketone release, via urine, that gets registered by Ketosix, it's not always accurate because of the Ketone/Energy output. I would recommend getting a Blood/Ketone glucometer at your local pharmacy, it's not that expensive, yet very effective.
