Hi Turbodan,
People vary a lot in terms of how they get into ketosis and the the colour they register when testing with those ketostix.
If you go on a 20 g carb per day, and you get dark results, that is not really a problem, I think this happens to big guys who generally have a higher metabolism. Judging by your stats (goal weight of 200) you're about my size, and I get dark results even when I'm up 50g carbs.
If you're following Atkins, keep the 20g for induction (2 weeks) and then increas 5g each week to see what is your carb limit.
Some people just can't get them dark or even pink, and it may have to do with our body chemistry.
Wa'il
