Keto Stix
 
Hello,
This is my 2nd time around trying the low carb way of life, the first time I didn't see it as that and got bored.
I am on my 3rd week and my question is "how come I cannot turn that dang stick purple?"
I have never been able to achieve this.
Any suggestions?

Hi and welcome! :wave: If you post a sample menu, or start a journal, we can probably figure out the 'culprit' . ;)

Yo don't want to.
 
You do not want to turn the stick purple... only have it read the presence of 'some' ketones... It is my understanding you would have to be dehydrated to turn the stix purple... if you get a reading of any keytons in your urine you are in Ketosis... Purple bad.

Now I know.
I appreciate all the good advice!
