Mixed with the 3 cups of coffee I just drank it might do you in.

I noticed my ketostix hardly read too, but i was told that when your body uses the stored fat for energy there are not as many ketones in your body.. I think I got that off the lowcarb.com website. I know because I had the same concerns. But I seem to be doing okay, You can do it too. Just have an amazing goal-met reward in mind. Keep up what you are doing and I'm sure you will have great results too. I stopped using those ketostix because I was getting paranoid things were not working... then come to find out things are going fine!
I went and paid 10 bucks for some just to see if I was in ketosis. When I tested it, the color was the last shade before the darkest purple. I assumed that meant I was in ketosis. I have been on a 3 week stall, even though the ketostix read dark purple.
Who knows?

That website says that even if you have the lowest reading on the ketostix you are still in ketosis but using the fat you've stored as energy. There are a lot of informitive websites that can help you answer this question. I'll look around and see if I can find the link for it... hang in there.
