They are almost always useless. Just eat the sheet and you'll be fine.

@choirboy I've used one every day for 6 months. Never have I been positive. Always at the very end of the scale. Yet I've done well, methinks.

Congratulations! The keto sticks aren’t always accurate. If you stick to plan you will stay in ketosis

@peculate thank you. it’s discouraging when you have so far to go

@choirboy please don’t let that discourage you. Try to find other things to motivate you like clothes fitting better, better sleep, less bloating, more energy, etc. I’ve been doing IP on and off for over 5 years and each time I find new things that motivate me.
