Dry mouth and frozen!

I think some people just maybe do better on Opti than others. Maybe you have a stronger constitution than me ;)

I agree with Pat, if you are losing weight then you are doing it right. And if you are well-hydrated then the strips may not work because you are doing a good job of flushing the ketones out of your system. Try checking at various times during the day but don't get hung up if it changes colour or not. It may take a few more days, it may take a week or more, or you may never register on the strips. Some people have the worst ketone breath ever but nothing on the strips. I don't think it matters if they're for pregnant women or not, pretty sure they're all the same but I don't know for sure... But just know if you're not cheating and losing weight then it's ketosis time :D

Thanks!!!  that's what my Husband says to just relax and not worry so much.  He googled and told me exactly the same things you guys just said.  Specifically that it can take a week for the ketones to show and this is my 5th day. 

Went grocery shopping this morning even!
