Super Deep in Ketosis

[TheQuietRioter]

So, I tested my urine last night for ketones and to my suprise I am way deep in ketosis.

The strip was a very deep burgandy color. When I compaired to the color chart it measured at the largest amount.

I am freaking out. I feel ok, but is my body ok?

Those strips are as reliable as the stories my teen aged daughter tells me about her day. Did you remember to drink plenty of water?

Oh yes...I drink a lot of water daily. Usually about 3 liters. Yesterday, I was a little short on my water intake, but nothing drastic.

I am just curious if it is ok to have a strip read so dark.

Re: Super Deep in Ketosis

I agree with Liv.

Mine has been reading just a little darker than the "Trace" rating but I'm a water drinker from way back so I don't worry about it too much. Everyone else can see that I'm losing.

If you're doing your water right and eating how you should, I don't see a reason to worry.

Re: Super Deep in Ketosis

Your body is fine. Dr Atkins says that the degree of ketosis that your in is insignifigant but more importantly that you are in ketosis. For me its psychological. I disagree that they are not reliable, they are very much so but again not as important as watching the way your clothes fit and the way you feel!
