Question Staying in Ketosis

I recently raised my carb grams from 20 per day to 30 (by adding more veggies and some berries). I found the next day that I was still in Ketosis.

I know all of our bodies are different (some never go into Ketosis - and that's okay). But for those of you that do, I was wondering how high in carbs are you able to go and still produce measurable ketones?

According to Atkins the sticks will stop measuring at 40-50g carbs, although you can still be in ketosis. You only stay in ketosis for induction and OWL, when you enter premaintanance and maintanance you should be out of it. For some people thier upper limit of carbs is 20, for those who workout regularly they can go up to over 100g a day and maintain. Each is different.
