Okay, so I'm pretty new to the forum, not to LC though. I am new to using KetoStix.

I have been in the MOD ketos color since last week, except 1 or 2 days I was maybe TRACE. Today I was barely TRACE, but it looked more like NONE!! When I tested I had only had 12 carbs, but I had drank like 4 glasses of water pretty close together and I was "going potty" quite frequently. My question is does the amount of water affect it???? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!! :help:

My question is does the amount of water affect it???? Yep, totally! There are the same amount of ketones but they will be diluted. Also the time of day, if you've eaten a fatty meal or exercised heavily will affect the colour.

Don't get too hung up on the stix. You can lose weight just fine without them. :)

THANKS THANKS THANKS!!!
:yay:
I really only use them as motivation. But I will remember that!!! My clothes are feeling baggy, so I use that as my "real" indicator. This weekend I'm trying on my old jean.....we'll see!

THANKS AGAIN!!
