ketostick test question.

[nibbea]

On my first test pop in week one I was a lovely bright pink, week 2 my water intake was dodgy so I was purple. Week 3 at pop in and weigh in I have gone to a very very light pink. I haven't cheated but have upped my water intake. Any body else had this?

Am I not in ketosis, why has this happened?

Hi Shona,as long as the ketostix is pink/purple you are in ketosis.
The more water you drink it dilutes the colour the less water you drink it gets darker...........bad sign as dehydration is BAD BAD BAD
Well done hun Ketosis is fab xx

You're definitely in Ketosis.
Mine would always be the light pink, as I have always drunk around 6-7 litres of water per day.
If you drink less water, the Ketostik is suggesting that you are dehydrated.
Glug Glug!

Thanks guys

I realised the purple wasnt right, but thought I'd just go back to the nice pinky shade, Im not hungry and still have horrid breath, but you really have to look at the stick to see its pink, so light in fact the counsellor said well we can just say ketosis.

I've had this too - its due to you be totally hydrated & is only a good thing! Think I lost 6lbs that week xxxx
