Ketosticks

[Jules1980]

Alright here is another question that just popped up in my head!
I got my ketosticks last week and have checked them every once in a while.
In the morning they are dark dark purple....but as the day goes on they go to the lower end and are a fleshy pink colour. Could this just be due to the amount of water I am drinking? Because I have certainly not gone over on the carb intake! Im just curious why is darker in the mornings than it is in late afternoon and evening?

Re: Ketosticks

They're most likely darker in the morning because that's when you're peeing the most excess ketones.

During the day, your body is using up those ketones, so it doesn't have as many to pee away.
