Default Re: Lesson Learned - DON'T CHEAT!

First of all ... no lectures. I guess everyone here learns their lessons differently. Thankfully, I've not taken that risk.

But a ketostix lesson for you ... degree of color on ketostix is simply a function of the level of hydration or dehydration. Any color change is a color change and therefore ketosis. If you drink more or less water, it will be reflected in the shades. So deep purple only means not enough water.

Ketosis is like being pregnant ... there are no degrees ... you either are or you aren't.
