Description

The body converts carbohydrates to sugar (glucose) which is used for fuel, left-over fuel is stored as fat. If carbs are restricted by a low-carb diet, fasting, or even prolonged exercise, blood sugar will fall and the body will begin to burn stored fat as a means of fuel. This physiological state is called Ketosis. During ketosis, fatty acids are released from fat deposits and circulated through the bloodstream. When they enter the liver they are converted into ketones. The ketones are then delivered to tissues and organs by the bloodstream where they are metabolized for energy. Certain types of ketones are captured by the kidneys and discharged from the body through urine. Ketone urine test strips can be used to detect ketone levels. If the levels are above 1.0 mmol/l, the body is in ketosis and burning fat. 1. The Keto Diet Wasn’t Originally Developed for Weight Loss. In the 1920s, the Keto Diet was developed to treat epilepsy. Since then, it’s been used for medical treatments. 2. This Diet is Extra Low Carb Compared to Other Options. For the keto diet to work, your body has to be deprived of carbs so that it will burn fat for fuel. That means this diet restricts you to 50 grams of carbohydrates (including fruits and veggies) a day, which is less than most other low-carb diets. 3. Keto Flu is One of the Diet’s Possible Side Effects. Although it’s not really the flu, the “keto flu” is a side effect of ketosis that makes some people feel sick for the first week of the diet. You can simply urinate on the test strip or urinate into a urine sample cup and then immerse the strip into the collected urine. Please make sure that the test strip does not contact urine for more than 2 seconds. Once the test strip has contacted urine you must hold it horizontal so that the color pads do not bleed on to each other and skew results. Wait for 40 seconds for the reactions on the color pads to take place. Hold the urine test strip against the color chart on the product bottle to read the results.
