Ketosis and Ketosis Strip Question

[sassygoddess13]

Okay, so I'm a person who likes to see results and my promise of not weighing myself until the 15th day sticks. So I bought the ketosis sticks.

So basically, here's my question: if it turns a differnet color, does that mean you're in ketosis? Mine are never purple, they're always in the "slight to moderate" range. I do them at the same time of day too.

Just wondering. Vary degrees of ketosis?? I don't know. Anyone?

I've always felt comfortable with - if its darker then pink, i'm in ketosis. Mine only go to dark purple when I test after I've gone to the gym. Otherwise they are darker moderate.

Don't know if this helps or not...

Ketosis strips are a lot like a pregnancy test...you either are or you aren't.
The lightness or darkness of the stick has more to do with how hydrated you are at the time, and it doesn't mean that you are excreting more or less.

Also, there's no way of knowing if the ketones being eliminated are from fat on your body, or from the fat you ate, so don't be too wrapped up in them.
You might find you have a totally negative reading sometimes...it's probably because the strips were bad.

Don't sweat it...save your money for something else..like all the new clothes you're going to be needing soon!!
