Question about Ketosis and response time
Hi everyone. I have been low carbing since June 4th and hit the 40 pound
loss milestone last Wednesday, and I am 22 pounds from my goal. I have a question about Ketostix. I have been using these randomly since June 4th, and rarely get a color response at all except maybe the slightest hint of pink. This week however, they are a deep purple. Now then, my question is, if I eat something to intentionally blow myself out of Ketosis (not that I would want to), what kind of time frame are we looking at here for the purple to go away? I know the remaining Keytones have to be flushed out and all of that, but I have never been able to tell. |

Cheryl ps,,,if you're getting plenty of water,, just up your green veggies,, those are good carbs!! |
