Ketosis already?

I started my keto eating on Tuesday - I checked for ketones today with the urine strips - it showed I have a small level (15) of ketones. Is it possible I'm in ketosis already? I did it only because a friend that started a day before me said she was showing that she was in ketosis. Do you want to be at a moderate or large level?

Thank you in advance!

    depends on how many grams of carbohydrate you're eating.

    Definitely possible, although it's not likely that you are "keto adapted" yet. It will take a few weeks or even months for your body to get used to using those ketones as fuel...

    So keep calm and keto on my friend! :)

    Thank you. There are several levels on the back to compare the strip to. I am assuming all shades are safe, correct?
