What ones do you use?
Why do you use them?
Where do you get them?
How often & when?

I use Bayer Ketostix purchased from Amazon.

If I know I am low carb enough there is no real need to use them apart from keeping me motivated
I usually test daily in the afternoon.

What are they testing?

I use them to check that my body is breaking down/using fat for energy. As mentioned before, it’s just for motivational use really as I can tell from food tracking if my carbs are low enough to produce them.
