I found it very helpful to use the test strips so know if I was in ketosis of not. The same for the acid-alkaline test.

Testing not guessing is key to weight loss success; especially in menopause and over the age of 40.
Dr. Anna created these test strips to help you check your progress and discerns what keeps you:
She found this to be key to healthy fat loss, stable moods and balanced hormones.
What are ketones? Fixed ketones are not normally found in the urine. They are by products of fat metabolism. They can form when a person does not eat enough carbohydrates (for example, in cases of starvation or high-protein diets, such as ketogenic and paleo) or when a person's body cannot use carbohydrates properly. When carbohydrates are not available, the body metabolizes fat instead to get the energy it needs to keep functioning! Urine ketones can be an initial discerning tool to let you know you’re on the right track to fat loss.
Why check urine pH? pH is a measurement of our acid-alkaline balance. The kidneys play an important role in maintaining the acid-alkaline balance of the body. Therefore, any condition that produces acids or bases in the body such as acidosis or alkalosis, or the ingestion of acidic or basic foods, can directly affect urine pH. Diet can be used to modify urine pH. A high-protein diet or consuming cranberries will make the urine more acidic. A vegetarian diet, and the ingestion of citrus fruits and other alkaline foods, like maca, will tend to make the urine more alkaline. pH in blood is very stable. PH in the urine can be a clue to discovery about our health. Stress can be contributor to a low pH.
Dr. Anna states that:
In general, high stress, high protein, high carbs, dehydration and inflammation can cause more acidic urine. A more alkaline urine PH of 7 or greater has been associated with less inflammation, detoxification, calmer physiology, and hormone balance as well as safer and more successful fat loss.

PS. There are limitations to urine testing but it is a great way to be accountable. More to come on my website.

I’m so glad I purchased these. They’ve been very helpful in achieving my goal. I did accidentally leave the cap off one night and that’s a no-no, so just remember to keep the cap on tight.
Thank you for the positive feedback Shelly! Glad you were able put the cap back, but normally if the test strips haven't been exposed to moisture or open over a few months before using (they are sensitive to light and moisture) then they are calibrated to work fine 😊. We are looking forward to hearing more from you! <3

I’ve been looking at KETO diet options for a couple of years. This is taking it a step further, but the fact that you could eat junk and still be KETO on other diets doesn’t seem to hit the better health goal. The beginner package on Dr Anna Cabeca’s website containing these strips has given me the ‘kick in the ***’ to get started!
