welcome - here are some links that may help. You should get a copy of the 2002 DANDR book - you will be more successful if you understand the plan and why it works - plus the rules and foods to eat. Make sure to begin with you are only eating recipes that are induction friendly.
Yes - if you are showing color on the keto sticks you are in keotsis -- the color doesn't matter -- the darker the color the more dehydrated you are - not the further into keotsis you are -- you are either IN or you aren't. Drink at least 64 ounces of pure water a day (coffee, tea, soda's do not count - pure water only). Decaf would be better than double expresso - maximum of 3 Splenda packets per day. Start an exercise routine of some sort from the beginning - it helps to keep you busy so you don't eat and tones your body from the beginning.
Good luck
