Help with Lipolysis Sticks

[jburg34]

Hi All! I have a question, and I hope that I am posting it in the right place! I have been on Induction for 8 days. It took about 3 days to get my ketosis sticks to show color... Now, they are still only showing what the can says is "small" amount of ketones- (20). I have read the Atkins book and am trying to follow the diet religiously. I have been drinking one diet coke per day, but am cutting that out today. I did eat more veggies than usual yesterday but still about 2 cups. My scale shows that I have lost about 5 pounds. I am disappointed and discouraged. I am not going to give up though. Should my sticks be getting progressively more lavendar/purple? I iknow I am in ketosis, as I have the funny taste in my mouth and feel like I have bad breath. Any suggestions? Thank you so much!

I think any change in color means the fat is burning. Mine fluctuate a lot. I don't let it worry me.

Don't pay attention to the color. Some folks NEVER turn a stick any color at all and they are in ketosis.
