It sounds like you may need to up your calories. I'm not for counting calories perse (really just carbs) but if you must, then stay within the 10-12X your present body weight margin so that you don't stay in starvation mode.

See if that helps.

Re: ketosticks - they are unreliable so other then the little ego stroke they give us all, it isn't even neccessary to show the slightest pink to be burning fat and it doesn't mean you are losing weight if they are deep purple. Just my 2 cents.
