FYI about those sticks... the fat you eat that gets digested and metabolized also shows up in your urine. So don't assume that a positive reading on the sticks means you're losing body fat. All it shows is that you have ketones in your urine. A high fat meal prior to testing will give you a darker reading. If you're very well hydrated you will have a lighter reading (ketones are diluted). The darker/lighter readings in these cases mean nothing as far as fat loss goes.

So use the sticks if you find them encouraging (for whatever reason) but don't rely on them to determine body fat loss or anything else.
