Default Re: grrrrr

Not seeing pink on those sticks does not mean that that you are not in ketosis. The pink that you mesure in the urine is expelled ketones - you may just be using your ketones and that is just fine. Not everyone on Atkins will see changes on those sticks. And even a little pink is a sign of ketosis. If you ever find that you have expelled a lot of ketones and those sticks are very dark you probably are not drinking enough water.
