Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to introduce myself. I started Atkins 1 week ago today and have been doing great!

I've tested for Ketosis a few times and always seem to be light pink. Does anyone know if it makes a difference how dark the strip gets?

Thanks!

I know the answer to that question!! :wave:

A trace reading is all you need to know you're in ketosis. Anything darker, especially the darker colors could very well mean you're dehydrated. So...GOOD NEWS!... you're doing great!! :thup:
