Still Purple...Is it OK?

[rozigrl221]

Should my ketosis stix still be turning pink/ purple the whole time with OWL? I am still doing rung 6 peeking at rung 7. My stix are still turning moderate even with all the carbs allowed on rung 6- (about 50- 55) I am still turning pink . I thought eventually the stix would stop turning, but I guess I was wrong.

Also, is it okay to use a little splenda to sweeten up the heavy cream on my berries?

the stix generally stop turning about 5-10 carbs before you hit your CCLL, so looks like yours is gonna be pretty high, lucky you!!

as long as the sweetner isnt going over your allowance yes thats fine, thats what i do too!

Thanks for responding, Emma. I do feel lucky that my CCL is appears to be on the higher side. I'll take it.
I just love those berries at the end of a hard day with some sweetened heavy cream. Yummm.

Per Dr. Atkins...

After all, the clear premise for Induction is to switch you into a primarily fat-burning metabolism by sharply controlling carb intake. Your LTS will help measure the extent to which you've done so. Later, as you move through the other phases and increase your carbohydrate intake, the strips are no longer needed. As long as you continue to lose weight gradually, lose inches, have your appetite under control and experience none of your old symptoms, you are clearly burning fat. Moreover, in most cases the LTS will no longer turn pink or purple once you are taking in 50 or more grams of carbs a day, so they are of no use as people get above that level of carb intake.

Its still ok. you probably won't register soon
