Hi everybody!
I've been on Induction for a little over a week, and trying VERY hard to be patient (I've still only lost MAYBE a pound, I know everyone's different but I have to admit how much I was dying to see weight flying off right away!). I've eliminated the bars and LC soymilk I was eating, so I feel like now I'm truly following Atkins' rules of Induction as they're listed in the book BUT my Ketostix are still only showing trace levels of Ketones. They were slightly darker for a few days and one day last week it was almost purple, now it's lightened up a bit. Are there some people who are just not capable of entering deep ketosis? Is a trace level enough?
Thanks so much! - Marla
PS I think I'm going to start a journal to track my intake and exercise... feel free to comment on it/offer any suggestions as you see fit!! :)
