another dumb question about those strips
Hi! Sorry for this one, but I am really curious. Okay, I have been on induction since Dec. 26. Having alot of trouble, blah blah blah, old news, anyway, I use the ketosis strips, a few times a week.
Yesterday when I used one, instead of the usual light pink, they were as dark purple as they could be. Which is strange because I upped my water intake on account of the leg cramps I am still getting. I can't possibly be dehydrated. Today I checked and it was still just as dark. Could it be that I am finally really burning fat? I have been eating more veggies, and I cut out the Atkins bars. I also have been drinking green tea (decaf) maybe my metabolism is finally progressing from that of a snail? Oh please, somebody tell me this is good news!! I thought I had lost six pounds, but as of Saturday, I was back up EIGHT, so I am really really ready for some good news. No difference on tape measure, but I only measured my waist and thighs. Too depressing to measure my chest - don't want to lose there, if you know what I mean! I guess it is possible I am losing fat in my wrists or earlobes. Any thoughts anyone? I am getting really really sad, I could use some encouragement. Thanks all of you for listening, I love reading all the information on this forum.
