I am picking up some ketosis strips to ensure I stay in ketosis and have my food ordered for next week. I might as well use this thread to post results for next week as I go.

The strips will show you have spare ketones in your pee. Spare because you peed them out.
They work, not saying don't get any, just realize that deep ketosis means you're burning the ketones, not peeing them out.
In the past when I've used such strips I find they go way higher after eating carbs, precisely because my body is like "Oh, carbs to deal with? Fuck.. call the insulin and dump these ketones, cos we need to burn this carbage, before it glycates and fucks up all our arteries n shit!"
But yeah, for sure as a noob they will help show and reassure you that you're in keto-mode. If you really wanna get serious you need to test your blood, not your pee. Don't do that, painful, expensive, no need - if you cut your carbs to basically nothing then you WILL go into ketosis, guaranteed.
You do it every night, which is why it's called break-fast, but really getting 'fat adapted' does take awhile. Be patient, be kind to yourself, and get some electrolytes.

Sounds good. I talked to someone else did keto and they told me to buy some potassium and magnesium as well, helps not have the keto flu.
