    Talking Question about ketosis and ketostix

    Hi there

    Is there any experts on here lurking that no anything about ketosis and ketostix? I am on day 9 on exante and it took me a good 6 days to get into ketosis, which is quite normal for me - but I read that if you are properly hydrated that the ketostix should only show up a trace of ketones at most. I am drinking my 4 litres of water a day, plus tea and green tea and the water I am having with my shakes and soups and yet my ketostix are really dark in fact they are off the scale - is there something wrong with my hydration should I be drinking more?

    Does anyone know or do I have dodgy ketostix?

    Please help...I might be off to the doctors with this one thinking I have dodgy wee

    You may possibly have a urine infection? or the sticks are out of date or dodgy.
    Get to the Doc's first of all, even if it's a false alarm, then you will know it's the sticks.
    Take care.x

    Never seen the need to use them personally. If you do this diet and dont cheat you WILL be in ketosis.
    Lost 4 stone in 4 months on Exante in 2010/11 following the birth of my son. Successfully maintained until I got pregnant again in Jan 2012. Had my daughter in Sept 2012 and have 3.5 stone to lose... here we go again!

    *Start weight 13st4lbs* *Goal weight 9st8lbs*

    Weigh-ins:

    Wks 1 to 12 = 10st6lbs     (-40lbs)
    Wk 13: 09/03/13 = 10st5lbs     (-1lb)
    Wk 14: 16/03/13 = 10st     (-5lbs)
    Wk 15: 23/03/13 = 9st11lbs     (-3lbs)
    Wk 16: 30/03/13 = 9st10lbs     (-1lb)
    Wk 17: 06/04/13 =
