Arrow How are test strips for ketosis read?

Hello frineds,

I started on the Atkins diet monday. On Wednesday I tested for Ketosis and the results were positive on a MODERALTE LEVEL. The test strips have a gradient as follows:

Negative
Trace 5
Small 15
Moderate 40
Large 80
Large 160

What is the ideal level of ketosis under the Atkin's diet? I am only testing at the modrate level.

Thanks,

Martin
