This is my 3rd week on Atkins (although I have tried the diet many times in the past.) All last week, my ketostix were a nice dark purple. Then, boom, Saturday night-white. No color change at all. It stayed that way until today. The only things I did differently were:
1) I ate one slice of a low-carb bread (Bread of LIfe brand 3g carbs). Keep in mind that I have been eating Atkins bread on occasion with no efffect on my ketosis state.
2)I had a Pria carb select nutrition bar for breakfast and lunch, plus another one for my afternoon snack. I have eaten 2 of these per day with no ill effects for the last 2 weeks. Could adding just one more throw me from dark purple to white?
I know they say not to put too much faith into the sticks, but they really motivate me. Today I have ommited the bars entirely and my stick was light pink. What's going on here?
Thanks,
Karla
