Bakkedbren,

just a little note. the darker the purple on your ketostix is not always the best... could mean you are not drinking enough water.. any color on your ketostix means your in ketosis and burning fat.. Plus you neeed to make sure you eat.. not being hungry is also a sign of being in ketosis.. if you dont eat enough food your body will start holding on to what you eat in fear it may starve. With this eating plan you need to make sure you keep them calories up to at least 10-20 times your body weight .....

Good luck
Tammy
