How often do I use ketone testing strips?
We recomend testing daily at first, as it’s a great way to shift your focus off the scales, however, don’t be obsessed with the readings, just trust in your process as it can take up to 4 days for your strips to show readings.
You can trial testing at diffrent times in the day to see if you get diffrent readings, when waking, before bed or midday.
Your hydration and eating habbits can impact your test resutls, so being consistent with your testing times as well as being aware of any changes to your activity levels, the day's humidity & temperature and your drinking patterns withing 12 hours of testing is very important.
