So, if my keostix register just plain "trace", that is good enough? Or should I try to get into "small", "moderate" or "large"? I am drinking my 8 glasses of water. Thanks for any info!

hi Soella,

Showing trace is just fine. Ketosis is ketosis...it's like you are either pregnant or you aren't...there are not degrees of ketosis.

In fact usually if the strips are showing dark purple it is a sign that you aren't dringking enough water. From the sounds of ti though, that's not a problem for you

I have drank 100 oz of water a day and my Ketostix were still at a dark purple.. could this be bad? oh and do you think that even the Atkins bars have hidden carbs.. because I dont think he would put his name on it if it did??
thanks. hope everyone is doing great
