Well, no, it's not true. While I'm sure it is different with everyone, if you are eating LC, it takes your body about 48 hours to go into ketosis (that's how long it takes to "burn" the glycogen out of your system). But, please be aware that you may NEVER get a dark purple color. The urine can be diluted by heavy water intake, and that totally changes what color the strip comes out. All you should care about is that it is ANY shade of pink.
Since you didn't see any change until day 9, I'd reaccess and make sure your not getting more carbs than you thought, and make sure you're using the strips correctly.
Good luck! |
