normally the darker the color on the stick the more dehydrated you are but there are other reasons. You are either IN or NOT IN keotsis so the color really doesn't water. The 70 oz of water you drink daily - is it pure water (nothing added) or do you put crystal light or sugar free kool-aid in it? The only water you count toward your daily total is pure water. The mixes have chemicals and aspartame in them (aspartame isn't allowed)

It sounds like you are doing good so far - make sure you get enough veggies, fats and protein in daily even if you really aren't hungry -- if you go too low on carbs and calories you're body will start rebelling.

Good luck.
