No ketosis-is it all water?

[letmeout]

Hiya, I have tested myself again and no ketosis. Does this mean everything I have lost is just water and not fat?
Feel worried now.

Thanks so much for this dancin'- I've been testing late afternoon when I am very, very well hydrated. Will have another go in the morning

Ketostix can only pick up one type of ketone and we produce 2 (some say 3) different types. Therefore, you may not be producing the ones that are detected by the stick, but that doesn't mean that you're not in ketosis. They're only a guide. If you're not hungry and losing weight, I'm certain you'll be in ketosis!
