Merry Christmas!! Oh wait.. its not Christmas, but it feels like it for me today. I took Mom and we went down to GNC and I invested in some supplements.. I've been back and forth for a week, bc it IS an investment physically and on my wallet, I did my research, asked my friends here (thank you Frosty, Cat Herder and HCB for your feedback) and finally did it. I settled on Isopure Whey Protein, Isopure Amino and C4 ripped for pre work. I also got my vitamin D but did not get a glucometer like I wanted.. Can any one tell me where to get Keto strips? Once I get those Ill be satisfied for a while. Trying the C4 now and cant want to work out shortly! Cheers everyone ! ..

Sounds like lots of $$$$. The only one I've used is Vitamin D. Hope they help your plan.

Love C4! I alternate between that and Legion Pulse

You can get the ketone urine test strip at Wal-Mart. Good luck with the supplements.

I get my keto strips on Amazon but I don't get to town often lol. I wonder if Walmart.com carries them?

i get mine at the local drugstore (CVS) and they're not that expensive, i think about $10-12 for 100 strips. i cut them lengthwise in half so you have twice as many! just be careful not to touch the pad with the chemical when you're doing this. it's awkward at first, but easy once you get the hang of it.

I hope those work for you. I have been using a protein shake before my morning workout for some time and I can certainly feel the difference if I don't have it.

I believe I read where Dorindam posted on your entry yesterday that you can get strips @ Walmart pharmacy.

Red, is the glucometer one that you test blood for ketones?

Amazing how much we spend on pills. I have a shelf of 'em that I take religiously (har-har) morning & nite. Hope yours work, too, Red, though I guess one won't really know until some blood is drawn for Lipids and sugar.

Pre-workout drinks typically have disguised caffeine so it you work out in the evening, it could keep you awake at bedtime. Keto strips are at most stores like Walgreen's, Target, etc. Once we become keto patted, it is hard to see ketones in the urine. Some people use the expensive blood testing for ketones...not worth it to me. I think you said you want a glucometer to test your sugar - I hope you can find it inexpensively.

I would think the yucky taste in your mouth from keto would tell you even without testing. LOL I never bought any while I was on low carb so am no help on that. If I am going to the gym it's usually a small peanut butter sandwich on my whole grain bread before a workout, it's normally after work and lunch many hours before. I know on low carb that's not an option. Something with protein and a few carbs.
