 Hey y'all Dustin here, we're gonna talk about peeing on a stick. Yes Measuring ketone levels. How do you do it? Why is this such a bad idea? So I'm gonna explain it to you here shortly I'm gonna do a follow-up video though of like why I don't recommend if you want long-term health results Why I don't recommend measuring a lot of things. It's a psychological nightmare bad idea But but check out the other videos that I'm gonna do on that topic because I think it's important If you're really looking to change your life measuring things will probably not get you there. So anyway, P sticks Why do I not recommend this? It's kind of like this This is that you pee on it if you don't know what a P stick is it's it's been around for 20 30 40 50 I mean long time. I don't way longer than me You pee on it. It turns color. It tells you have ketones in your urine It just tells you if you're passing ketones. Nothing's dangerous about that if you're a healthy individual So nothing bad about that, but it tells you what it is It doesn't tell you how many ketones you have in your body though so If you have a car and the car has a tank of gas and you're driving on the highway And I run behind it and I go to the exhaust Can you imagine me running behind the car and I put this little thing underneath the exhaust and I says hey it changed colors It's either a trace amount or a big amount. What it's telling me is that there's gas in the car It doesn't tell me how much gas is in the car. How long the car is gonna go for with this amazing fuel It also tells me is it dumping a lot of gas out of the exhaust or a little bit to a trace amount Means that it's just dumping a little bit There's two reasons why and if it's if it's go to if it goes to a purple it tells me it's dumping a lot of ketones There's a reason why so when your body pees out ketones It's basically it's a couple reasons one because you're not absorbing them Well, meaning your body loves ketones. It's super superior fuel source. Your body loves ketones so it's either because you're not absorbing them very well or Or is because you have a lot in your system and it's just extra and it doesn't need them Those are the two reasons so a lot of times if people first start the key drink diet or start drinking our product this amazing tool What happens is their body's not good at absorbing it it can take up to six weeks to we call keto Adaption and takes a little bit more time and so your body doesn't use the fuel as well and it pees it out So you might notice when you first start you might notice the color shift a lot But if you've been low carb relatively healthy, maybe you you exercise a lot There's a good chance your body likes ketones and it keeps them meaning that the car isn't trying to waste the fuel off the exhaust It's keeping them. So if you pee on the stick and you're like well, it's just as trace, but I have energy focus mood I feel great. I'm losing weight. I'm feel awesome. Well, that tells me your body's keeping the ketones. It's not peeing I'm out. So that's a good thing. That's what you want. So be careful because when you start looking at these things people will say Well, I'm doing awesome. I'm in purple another person says I'm not doing so good I'm in I'm in the light pink and I go, well, how do you feel and the one that says she's doing awesome? It's like I don't not really any different the one that's light pink goes. I feel great But yet they think it's not working because these things are very inaccurate not a good idea I don't recommend them. You can you can use them for a little here and there for the first week after that Throw away never use them again throw it away So that's one way there's two other ways to measure your ketones one's a blood meter way more accurate Still don't recommend using it, but you can prick your finger It's very expensive way of measuring your ketone levels But once again, it can shift and change very quickly way more accurate the other ones a breath meter And breath meter is a crazy formula that they have that when you breathe into it It converts and tells you what your ketone levels are and they're actually getting more and more accurate Over time the challenge is if you drink our amazing product if you drink our Keto Nat the problem is is that when you ours is in a form of beta-hydroxybutyrate So you're not going to see a huge breath meter shift in it You can but you may not see huge shift in it It may not be a good indicator of what your blood ketone levels are which is actually what you're really looking for if you're gonna measure So once again if you're measuring ketone levels know that this is a really bad idea blood meters Probably gonna be superior if you're using our product. You don't need to measure y'all it works We've already proven that it's completely works it elevates your ketone levels Just commit to the journey at least six weeks for adaptation to happen That's with the diet product You're gonna get better results about six weeks in because your body's gonna get more the ability to utilize the ketone's more effective basically Your body gets smarter at using a superior fuel source is what happens So but if your person that says should I measure should I not measure if you're in that brains brain mindset? Check out the other video. I don't know if you'll be tagged on here. I'll have it on my channel Check out the other video because I'm gonna beat that up Why I believe that that is a that is a detriment to your long-term goals and results measuring things ultimately leads to failure in most people's cases When it comes to health and wellness because it has to do with psychology. So we'll talk about that soon y'all Appreciate you
