Any consolation, my sticks never turned pink for the whole 8 stone.
Was still in ketosis though.
Having said that, some people take a bit longer than 4 days to get into ketosis. Also you'll lose on this diet whatever
Another thing to note is that if you are drinking loads of water, it can dilute your pee, so not show on the sticks
Ketosis happens in the blood anyway. Only shows on the stixs if there's an overflow.

I pee on the sticks everyday and they never show that I'm more than mildly in ketosis although I know I am.
If it's showing any shade of pink, you are probably in ketosis. It's like being 'mildly pregnant'. You either are, or you aren't.
Having said that, as above, a negative doesn't mean you are not in ketosis. Just that if the ketones are around, then they maybe just diluted too much, or not enough of them to overflow. If you know what I mean.
