Ketosis/ pee ing purple

[Frogs Girlfriend]

I have, what seems to me, a silly question. I am on day 5 of induction and I have seen the tests strips turn purple. I have not seen any movement in the scale nor noticed any real difference in the way my clothes fit (I know I'm inpatient). Since the test strips are turning purple can I assume that I am doing this right and not get all freaked out...Help!!!

Don't pay attention to the stix. All they tell you is that you are breaking down fat, but they don't tell you if you are breaking down body fat or the fat you ate at your last meal/snack.

The color of the stick doesn't correlate with the number of pounds you lose.

So, use them only as a guide, not as a 'be-all-to-end-all'

Also, give your body a chance to start losing weight. I didn't lose a size until I had lost 20 pounds and it took me to lose 40 pounds before anyone noticed I had lost "alittle" weight.

Megs is right, they never worked for me. You might want to post your menu in the "Review my Menu" section so the experts can take a look at your plan as what and how much your eating has more impact on your weight loss than thoes expensive sticks.
