There is no such thing as "high ketosis" you are either in or out. The colour variation on the stick simply shows how many ketones the stick is measuring. You are either in ketosis or not.
Yes, if you eat more calories than you need, you will not lose, you can even gain - that has nothing to do with being in ketosis or not - you can be in ketosis & gain weight if you eat too much! Are you using Dr. Atkins' rule of eating until you are satisfied, but not full or stuffed? Counting calories works too if you can't tell when you are hungry or have no appetite.
