Exclamation Getting a negative ketostix reading?

Hello fellow low-carbers.

I just wanted to pass this on for people who are having strange negatives on their ketostix. I usually pee into a small container and all week I had been getting negatives after going for days at 20g carbs/day. I then realized that if ketostix are the cheap-o ones, they have a very small amount of "the color changing stuff" on them. That means that you have to IMMEDIATELY get the stick out of the urine and hold it stick horizontally the whole time.

Try this if you're getting strange negative readings. I'm now in the purple!
