losing to fast...help..purple keto

[comeonloseit]

hello,
Ok well real quick I was on atkins for about 5 months lost about 40 lbs...then went off and gained it all back...Its not that the eating was hard it was the not drinking at all I am only 25 years old primarily all my friends go out and unfortunately so do I...But anyways yesterday was my first day back after about 6 months...I peed on the stick yesterday morning and it was white...this morning again but it was almost purple I have lost 3.5 lbs in a day. Whats that all about. Last time I was on it it took me almost the complete two weeks before I hit purple. I feel great but my question is it the alcohol thats making it purple so fast. I am just confused...I mean happy but confused...anyways any advice....

I'm sure one of the "pros" will come along to further answer your question. But, I will say that the intial loss you are seeing is mostly (if not only) water weight. So I wouldn't be to worried yet.

Good luck!

first welcome back to Atkins

second you are not losing fat too fast. you are most likely dehydrating between the alcohol and the Induction. drink some extra water and hang in there.

Alcohol byproducts can be picked up by the stix and tested as ketones even though thay are not because they are chemically similar so yes your alcohol is making it purple.


Do a 14 day clean induction and see what Atkins can do for you.
Happy low carbing
