  • Ketosis Question

    Hello, all!

    Today is day 17 and no slips yet. My question is about ketostix. I have been checking and I seem to stay in the low to moderate area. Never a lot. Is that normal? I drink lots of water and am "by the book". Just wondering......

    Thanks

    That is not only normal - it is good
    It means you are not dehydrated!!

    Keep up the good work
    Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
    Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

      remember all those stix tell you is that you had that concentration of ketones in your urine as a result of having excess in your bllod at the time that urine was made. Check the FAQ topuic on stix and you will see all about how the results of stix can mislead us.

      Keep following the bok put your stix away and watch the fat melting off your body.

        My husband has never had the sticks turn color for him and he has lost 39 pounds so he must be in ketosis. I noticed that when I was dehydrated, they would turn a deep purple when I had plenty to drink they would be a light pink, I threw them out.
