Hi All,

First of all, turning the stix purple definitely can mean dehydration - but it doesn't definitely mean you are dehydrated. It may just mean you are deeply in ketosis. Of course it can also mean you have just eaten a very fatty meal, or drunk some alcohol.

You'll find more info about ketosis if you read Doreen T's article "Ketosis and Ketone Test Strips" which you'll find in Low Carb Tips on the orange bar at the top of the screen.
