| So you must be in OWL Rung 1 then, if you are eating 20-25 net carbs. Is this correct? In this case, the "extra" carbs should come from vegetables.
About the ketostix. If they change color at all, you are in ketosis and that's all that matters. The ketone bodies concentration (aka nuance on the strip) can depend on things like amount of water drank, exercise, etc. Never test immediately after exercising or right after you wake up. The best time to do it is about 2 hours after a meal.

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
