    Ouch! That sucks! I had a doc stick me 6 times trying to get it right. And he was an arrogant SOB. I think Sometimes I'm skeptical about Dr Oz and some of the things he says. But that's just me. I say do what you want. If you want to spend $5 and see if they work, why not? It's not $500. :smile: If it doesn't work, it didn't break the bank, either.

    I tried the ketones last summer when I first started my journey. Did nothing for me and were expensive. I also watched Dr. Oz and this is why I did it. Also tried Slimquick and did see a change there, but it did not last and the pills made me sick after a bit. Adjust your diet and calculate how much you should be eating daily. This will help you if you are not able to exercise more. You will save money that way.

    I just started using them about 2 wks ago. I do crossfit 4 times a week (burns about 400 ea time) and Zumba 2 times a week (also about 400 cal ea time). I eat about 1200 cal a day with a distribution of 40% carbs, 30% fat, 30% protein. I've lost 9 pounds in 2 wks and I do think it has much to do with the ketones. I haven't seen the body fat percentage move much but the pounds have been melting off. I move more, eat less AND take the ketones!

    I guarantee the ketones have NOTHING to do with your success.

    if it's less than five bucks, what can it hurt? aren't ketones tested for those with diabetes? I thought that word looked familiar: "phenylalanine contains phenylketonurics" on the side of every bottle of diet soda! That's not a good thing, is it? Good luck to you!

    Although, I wish to withdraw my last statement, While I still say try it if you want to. WebMD says it's not clinically proven aid weight loss. So it probably IS a waste of moola.

    Are these some magic drug? I thought ketones were to test whether or not the body was in ketosis. Keto diets are pretty popular but I have never really looked into them.

    You must have used blue berry ketones, when you take the raspberry ones you can sit on your *kitten* and lose weight. You don't have to do all that exercise.
