> kick you out of ketosis
FWIW, that notion of "ketosis" as a magical metabolic state is very much a part of the voodoo I'm talking about. The medical community does not recognize that kind of thing. Ketosis is understood broadly as a disorder along a spectrum leading to ketoacidosis, and real doctors worry about treatment.
The idea of riding the enzymes like a knife edge to hack your metabolism is very much not supported by real research and consensus, and most experts think it's borderline insane.

But if you pee on the strip and it changes color you lose weight faster than caloric restriction accounts for, if you eat too many peas and it stops changing color you don’t. So people do it, and when they do, they must eat nearly only meat because there’s not much else.

And it's that logic exactly that I'm characterizing as "voodoo". You're trying to cite as obviously true what research simply hasn't shown. "I read it on a blog and it works for me" is the first step on the road to ivermectin and chemtrails. Double blind study or GTFO basically.
