Interesting thread Friday. I went through the same experiments myself awhile back. Another BFL buddy of mine found the exact same thing as you, but me, the sticks never show me in ketosis unless I'm on Induction level carbs. I've checked the ketostixs at every level of carb intake I've done as well as post-exercise and first thing in the morning. Nada. I don't have keto breath either. After all, I had a bottle left from my old Atkins days I needed to use up. LOL

Funny how people differ so much.

Have a good day!
