Heres my question Hi everybody, Is it just me or is anyone else as confused as I am?I'm mixed up over the stix. They say they are better as it darkens. That shows that we are in ketosis. Then they say that if we don't drink enough water that they will be darker. So if we drink all the water that we are supposed to drink the stix is light in color and that means we are not losing the keytones? I just don't know if I should be happy with a trace to moderate or jump for joy when I make it to the darkest purple. HELP what am I hoping for?

So if I had just a trace or small, that means I'm getting plenty of water but only passing small amounts of ketosis. But the more ketosis I pass the better I'm losing. Now is that what I'm doing? And is this why I'm losing so slowly. I'm trace to small to moderate. I'm drinking all the water I can get in me (right now) Hope for more as I get into this.I'm losing slowly. 10 lbs since June 2nd.I thought if I ever got to the deep purples that that would show a bigger loss.And drinking more water flushes the body of all the fat that is know as ketosis thus turning it to purple.So do you see why I'm so confused. E-gads! Does anybody understand what the heck I just said? LOL Help :-) Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 19, 1999 Report Share Posted July 19, 1999 Pete- Ok- I dont know if I know if this is correct but I think I was told that any color change means your in ketosis and burning fat!!!! You dont want it real dark because it means you're dehydrated. hope it helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 21, 1999 Report Share Posted July 21, 1999 Hello, :-) I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Today is the 3rd day of induction for my husband and I. So far, we are doing pretty good. I used the stix a little earlier this afternoon and found out that I am already in ketosis. WOO HOO!!!! I'm on my way! I haven't heard anyone mention it yet but I used the cheese bread/crackers idea to make substitute hamburger buns last night. They worked great! Just remember to use FREEZER PAPER. The cheese sticks to wax paper but it peels off easily from freezer paper. Brina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
