If the tester is deep purple that means we are burning fat. The fat could be stored body fat or fat from our last meal. Is it possible to be in ketosis and still not lose weight (be in a stall)? There are times I'm in ketosis but I'll go a week with almost zero weight loss. Your help is appreciated.

Re: Yet Another Ketosis Question
Actually, if the stix turns color at all, it means that you are excreting excess ketones from fat metabolism.Originally posted by Chris in Japan
And it's very possible to be "in ketosis" and not lose weight, particularly if you are overeating your legal Atkins foods (like stuffing yourself with protein and fat) and/or not exercising.

Yes... one can also be in ketosis, losing weight, and have no color change on the strips.~Susan
