Ketosix - colors.

[MissDesperate]

For the people who used ketostix.
What color shows it for you?
Mine shows 2nd one - a bit like peachy(which is like trace ketons). Can you be more or less in ketosis? Or maybe it doesn't matter?

If its pink at all then your in ketosis, the strength depends on how much water youv been drinking too.

 

[MissDesperate]

So does it mean i'm not drinking enough if its not very dark color or drinking too much?

 

[SSusee]

If you pee on the ketostix first thing in the morning, before you've had any water and the ketostix is purple, you are in ketosis. Sometimes, if you drink a lot of water during the day, then pee the colour is pink, like the water dilutes the colour. But if you go when you're dehydrated i.e. 1st thing in morning it will be purple if you're in ketosis.

thanks, gonna try tomorrow!

 

[MissDesperate]

You were right, colour was different in the morning!

Doesnt matter when I check its always purple/very dark pink I can have had 3/4/5 litres always shows the same. NO WAY Im dehydrated after all that

 

[MissDesperate]

then i dont know why mine shows different?
But in the morning it showed moderate ketons (in the middle of the scale).
Can you be in bigger or smaller ketosis?
