 Re: new to atkins Welcome and post any questions you have. I don't know anything about the ketostix, I've never used them--as long as they're showing color, you're fine. I'm glad you're feeling better-the energy surge should be happening any time now!

| Re: new to atkins Welcome to ADBB Soup! Love your droll nic!  Caryl is right.. the stix mean little, but if they show any colour at all you're probably on the right track. There are many reasons for differing colours and reactions and the stix should be just a guide. Things like alcohol can give a false positive reading, for instance. The amount of water you drink will also affect the colour. Be aware also that having a nice purple colour does not necessarily mean you're burning body fat... it could be dietary fat, if you're eating too much. Here are some links that might be of interest: Ketostix color http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard....read.php?t=6725 When to test ketones http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard....read.php?t=6726 Physical signs of ketosis/lipolysis http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6762 Happy losing!

| Re: new to atkins Hey Soup! How great that you've found our site, welcome! It sounds like you're definitely on the right track! Since you don't have much to lose, please be sure to move yourself up the food rungs for OWL as soon as possible! You can read the stickies at the top of the On Going Weight Loss Forum.
