Help Please - Ketosis

[FLSunShine]

Hi everyone,

I have a question. I am not discouraged just curious. This is the beginning of my 6th day of Induction and according to my Ketone Stick, I am not in Ketosis yet. Is this normal?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: Help Please - Ketosis

The sticks don't change colour at all for some people, ever. It doesn't mean too much. If you are showing any other signs of ketosis and that the diet is working - weight loss, reduced bloating, more energy, reduced appetite, reduction in/absense of cravings, smelly breath, thirst - then don't worry.

Your sticks may or may not follow in good time.

If you are really concerned, post a typical day's menu, in detail, just in case something is in there that may be causing a problem.

Thank you so much Kate. That really helps. I have all the signs you mentioned of Ketosis. I won't fret over it.
