Fairchild is right on the ball! Atkin's himself said that just because the strips read negative, doesn't mean you are not in ketosis. It just means that there are no ketones in your urine. If you are losing weight then you are in ketosis!

I noticed that I no longer read dark pink to purple anymore, even though I eat 25 or less, usually less carbs a day. This is the second time I tested and found a negative reading! And I only had 14 net carbs yesterday, so I don't know how I could have knocked myself out. But the fist time the strips read negative, for a couple of days, I lost 2 pounds that week.

I wish I have never found the dam strips I only give me yet another thing to fret over When they are gone, I am not replacing them!

Well maybe I will rethink that if I hit a stall.
