Are You Really in Ketosis?
If you have started a low‑carb or ketogenic diet, you may be wondering whether you are actually in ketosis or just cutting carbs without seeing the full benefits. Ketone urine strips offer a quick, inexpensive way to check what is happening inside your body so you can adjust your food, fasting, and lifestyle with more confidence
What Is a Ketone Strip?
A ketone strip is a small paper or plastic strip with a reactive pad on the end that changes color when it comes into contact with ketones in your urine. When your body starts using fat instead of carbohydrates for energy, it produces ketones, some of which are excreted in urine. By matching the color of the strip to the chart on the bottle, you get a rough idea of how many ketones you are producing and whether you are likely in ketosis.
