I tend to believe that the darker it is the more you lose. Mine was in the darkest range despite drinking 2 liters of water a day and I lost 70 lbs in right about 7 months. That is pretty fast to lose that......my sticks stayed dark from day 3 until December. But now I've upped my carbs and I'm not losing but not gaining but I'm no longer in ketosis. That's just my opinion though.

yes those bars are tricky. I eat them without problem but I think alot of people do have some sort of intolerance when it comes to them. Everyone is different, I can't have peanuts but I'm sure there are people who could eat them all day and not have a problem.

I am still staying below 20 carbs and mine is almost always moderate range

but like I said the few times I didn't drink as much it was darker.

AND 2 nights this week I had an atkins bar around 8:30-9 and when I tested

around 9:30-10 it was showing I wasn't in keotosis. I guess YMMV huh. ;o)

Sue,

I'm the same as you. When I drink a lot of water (over a gallon per day), then

I barely test

positive and then only in the morning when I first get up. If I cut back on

water, I test dark

ketosis all day.

I saw the post where they said on the cruise ship that darker ketosis means more

weight loss. OTOH,

sometimes someone will post that their sticks are dark purple but they haven't

lost any weight for a

long time, like a month, despite staying on the diet. So some other factor has

to be important,

too.

I'm a big believer in vitamens. I have always taken them. I think we

really need them being that we don't eat fruit ect. Dr. Atkins does

reccommend that you take supplements.

I would like to know also, since I was not loosing pound wise, but since I introduced more fat I lost 2 pounds, weird, but I'm happy. Now for dessert or snack I'm eating the "jello fluff" and its mostly fat, cream cheese, whip cream, cottage cheese and a small amout of jello, but it's goood, easy to make last for 3 or 4 days..

Oh, Oh.....

I have been burning pretty good, but not losing. Does this mean that

I should be watching (reducing) the amount of fat I am eating?

If this is the case, how does the Fat Fast work since it is about 90%

fat. How does that help the slow losers lose weight?
