But many of them talk about how they contain coconut oil and that is the key ingredient. I do notice when I add coconut oil to my foods ( I add it to my deviled eggs, protein shakes,and hot cocoa) that my keto sticks turn a darker purple, but I am also watching my carbs. Any thoughts or insights?

Uh, No !

Carbs will kick you out of ketosis.
Quickly.
By increasing your insulin.

But your ketostix will still be purple because you are getting ketones exogenously (as opposed to via metabolizing fat - they way you want to get your ketostix purple).

What will happen in this plan is your ketostix will be purple and you'll gain weight (certainly wont lose). You won't burn your fat stores because the insulin gets your carbs up.

Ketosis isn't purple Ketostix. It's metabolizing fat.
