I thought all "Peter Pan" brand was recalled off the shelves due to the Salmonella scare recently, you still dare to eat that brand?

bought it a coup of months ago. no salmonella yet .

syd, i read about this "ketostix", a type of dipstick u dip into ur urine to detect if you're on ketosis ?? where to buy?

Bought mine at Guardian KLCC. Thirty something for 50 stix . Damn hard to find, actually.

purple colour?
u said i'm not on ketosis, but i checked ketosis is carbs < fat...
u got anymore reliable links? thanks

okay lets put it this way

ketosis will happen when you're totally depleted of glycogen and had to rely on fat for energy. for new ketoers, that means 5-7 days of strict keto food. you had mashed potato yesterday didnt you.

syd is girl or boy??

girl. read her tag.

oh i see, okok

syd, ketostix check for what?

the pharmacist ask me "you wanna check for protein right?"...
i also then he say he dun have, only got for glucose.


Nature calls wayyy to often for me lah after eating like this.
i need to go to the toilet 3 times a day. Previously once or twice a week.

omg...You don't even know what u want... Then why u want to buy ketostix at the first place? Ketostix is a test strip to check whether ur body has entered into ketosis or not...meaning ur body is burning fat for energy.

huh?! 3 times a day?!

who said i dunno?

i just wanna confirm mah. got a lot of types.
Am i looking for the protein wan? not bad if the pharmacist
saw my size, he knows i am cutting
.............................. or maybe he thinks i wanna check for diabetes??

why on earth dont people use Google anymore?

From wikipedia :

Ketostix is Bayer's brand name for test strips which measure the level of ketones in the urine. They are used by type 1 and type 2 diabetics to detect ketoacidosis (a dangerous condition) and by low-carb dieters to measure benign dietary ketosis or lipolysis, the burning of fat.

that doesn't answer whether if i'm looking for protein one, syd
tolong lah....

no. you're looking for ketone, not protein. there are 3 types of strips available in the market - glucose, protein, ketone. you're looking for ketone strips.

edit : DOHH typo there. but at least u get what I meant

Syd, do you bump up your carb intake once in awhile to give your metabolism a boost?

yup. once a week or fortnightly depending on how my workouts go.

no lift, no carbs.
