TestMedica Ketone Diet Stix are used for monitoring Benign Dietary Ketosis (BDK). Low carbohydrate (Ketogenic) weight loss diets put the body in a fat burning state. When body fat is used up, it ultimately breaks down into compounds called "ketone bodies." Therefore, the presence of ketone bodies can be the result of fat metabolization. Measure your Fat Burn BDK quickly and easily with these test strips. The more ketones you release, the more fat you've dissolved. Some diet plans try to keep the dieter in the moderate range so that the dieter can chart his/her progress. If the amount of ketones present becomes too large, they can add more carbohydrates; if the amount becomes too small, they can cut back on carbohydrates.
