I'm sure this has been answered before, but I don't know where to find it. How long does it take for the keto sticks to start showing color? I've been on the diet now for 4 days (today is the 4th) and the sticks are showing neutral (so nothing). I've lost 5 lbs up to this point, so the diet is working weight wise, but I'm wanting to make sure I'm maximizing the fat burning. I've been strict with induction and carb intake is probably somewhere between 10-15 per day. I've done the diet in the past and keto sticks were purple, but I don't remember how long it took. Any advise is appreciated.

Re: Keto Question?
The first test must have been at a bad time. I tested again tonight and it showed moderate level. I figured my diet was strict enough to be showing on the stix. The good thing is that it is motivation to stay the course. Thanks for the reply.243/214/200
