The ketostix show purple. Is this normal for them to show purple so quickly or am I just dehydrated? lol

Re: One day in and already in ketosis?
Nah, that happened to me as well! I drink more than enough water so I know that I wasn't dehydrated! Keep it up

Re: One day in and already in ketosis?
It could mean you spilled a lot of ketones.
You could have done that before you started Atkins, too.
How much water are you drinking?J.

Other than what J. wrote... eating a lot of foods rich in short- and medium-chain triglycerides can also cause that.

I'm drinking about 8 servings of water. I used the ketostix a day or two I started Atkins and it was negative.SW/CW/GW: 211/210/160

What is that exactly? "About" means you could be drinking less.
You might want to aim for 1/2 your current body weight in ounces of water rather than getting the bare minimum of 64 ounces.J.

64 ounces could be dehydration for you, which might equate to purple.
Purple isn't the goal.J.
