Hi, I believe you should stick to what you are doing perhaps add in some supplements if you haven't. In my experience so far when I was on the induction diet I was turning the sticks a nice purple color. Although later i found out that purple could mean you are not drinking enough water. Thats when i stepped it up a bit when i started drinking more water the sticks started turning a red color. But then I decided well I'm losing weight why should i keep peeing on a little piece of plastic to confirm it. Now I drink about 3litres of water aday take supplements and excersize and my POTBELLY is slowly but surely dissapearing.
