there is no such thing as "high keotsis" -- you are either IN keotsis or you aren't. The color of the stick shows many things including dehydration. I show no color on the sticks (never have) and I know I'm in keotsis because of my breath and a strong urine smell. I also loose weight (albeit slowly) and inches. I drink 150 oz of water daily so that has a lot to do with no color on the sticks.

the sticks aren't 100% - they are to be used as a guide.
