Default Kito Strips

I just did the test and it matched up to pink (small) on the side of the bottle.

What does that mean. Am I in ketosis or not?

if you look at the top of this page there is an orange bar, click on "low carb tips" then you will see "ketosis and ketone strips" click on that and you will find info there.

Default Pink KetoStix

Hi Sherryl~
I just finished my first week of Induction, and never did get past the pink on the ketoStix... but my scale this morning showed a 14# loss! Like one fellow LC'er said.,..being in ketosis is like being pregnant.either you are or you aren't... That was reassuring to me to see... cuz I kept looking at that lil' piece of platic thinking... "WHY AREN'T YOU GETTING DARKER?" I knew that I was doing Induction the way I read... so happy to share that just showing pink on the ketoStix will bring losses too!
