low ccl

[usetababrickhouse]

Does anyone have an extremely low ccl?? I can not get the ketostix to turn purple over 20g of carbs, any thing under 20 and they are light purple.

I want to move on but am concerned that i just have a very low ccl.

changing colors is still changing colors. Ketosis is like being pregnant--either you are, or you are not.

I don't think the colour of the stix is any indication of what your CCLL is (correct me if I'm wrong anyone).
The best guestimate would come from your induction results.

Sally is right - your CCLL will have some relation to how much weight you lost in your first 14 days on induction.

Do you know your metabolic resistance to losing weight? If not check the chart in DANDr to find out.
