Any change in colour on the test stick indicates ketosis is present, and is therefore significant. 
And ketosis showing on a "steady composition" diet - as it does for most Atkins dieters - absolutely does not mean there is a problem with the person's metabolism. It simply means they are burning fat instead of sugar.
