I’m not an expert but a few days, I’ve used the strips and it has taken me a week of no carbs. Depends on your body to some extent

When I first started keto, it probably took me 1-2 weeks to get into heavier ketosis (according to pee strips). But I didn’t go cold turkey <20 carbs either, I worked my way down.

Exercise, fasting and/or extra low carb will expedite the process.

I still have and use the pee strips, but now it never shows anything more than ketones even though I’m pretty sure Im in ketosis (weight loss, <20 net carbs and exercise).

I want to pull the trigger on the keto mojo but haven’t mentally rationalized the expense yet.

The harder the workouts the more glucose you burn up = the faster you get into ketosis. I've used the strips, great barometer to know if your on the right track. Don't worry about how dark the color gets. If it changes at all it means that you're producing ketones. All the strip shows is what you have in excess.

I don’t want things to go “back to normal,” and lately I’ve been reading what feels like a lot of disingenuous arguments for reopening “for people’s mental health.” As someone who was suffering from the way things were before and is now thriving from the slowdown (both in work and personal life), I wish we could all stop pretending like we were living in some mental health utopia before the shut down.

Had a really bad day 😞 I don’t know why I keep doing this to myself. Things will be going well and then out of nowhere I get blackout drunk. I am tired of feeling sick and anxious from drinking. I don’t really even want to drink sometimes but do it anyway. Blacked out last night, and still feel sick now. I’ve never shared with anyone that I have this problem, until I found this message board. I have so much anxiety that I won’t be able to get this under control. I feel isolated and sad.
