For Mrs. Brittney and partner

[Evermind]

Hey, you two.

Don't get frustrated by the ketostix.

If yours, dh, is just showing trace, then you are doing BETTER than the Mrs! Seriously! She is dehydrated, and you are not. Both of you are in ketosis, and there aren't LEVELS for ketosis, you either are or you aren't.

So keep up the good work!

Re: For Mrs. Brittney and partner

Gracias for the input! I know the darker the purple the worse it is, because it means youre secreting too many ketones in your urine, ie its too concentrated and you're not drinking enough fluids to really dilute that as needed.

Our worry was just his wasn't purple at all (it nearly matched "negative" and was the same color when we originally tested before starting Atkins) so he was worried it didn't adjust at all because of that.

But I'll tell him the good news and hopefully his effort is worth it! =)

Also, if anyone has any good tips for him as far as utilizing Atkins to burn fat and get in better shape, but not really as a weight LOSS tool (doc says he's at quite the healthy weight) they would be appreciated!
