Ketosis Question

[Jamsi]

I got some Ketostix and when I tested myself today it was on the pink + Faible 0.15
Is this ok or should it be higher?
This is the first time I have used these so haven't got a clue.

Please can someone let me know

Any trace is fine

Thanks FJ is it better higher or does it not make a difference?

Doesn't make a difference.

To be honest, some people try the Ketostix and show they're not in ketosis...even though they clearly are. They're not 100% reliable....doesn't stop me buying them though

Ah cool I was wondering about this too as mine comes out a pale pink and I thought maybe it should be darker to be in it. Glad to know I am in it anyway

I was wondering that too a week or so back until I read that as long as keytones present it is probably better to be pale pink area as apparently darker pink can indicate your dehydrated! This does kind of run true for me as when I test when I've not had my full quota of water it's always darker pink & normally the same first thing in the morning. As long as keytones are present I'd not worry personally. Mine fluctuates between window 2,3 & 4 and I've lost 5 lbs both weeks I've been weighed so far. Best of luck with things :0)
