HI everyone
I just bought some keto sticks for the first time today and was a bit confused..if the colour appears at all on the spectrum (from light pink to dark purple) does this mean you are in ketosis? but the darker the colour the more heavily in ketosis you are? or are you only in ketosis if the colour is dark? If you are not in ketosis at all what colour would it show?

Hi, Sammy. It's super-easy to be confused by the information you get from keto-sticks. In general, if you get some pink or any shade of purple, you're in ketosis. In general, the darker the shade of purple, the more concentrated your urine is, usually because you're not well hydrated. My goal is to have the stick at pink or light purple. That means I'm making ketones, but not likely to be behind on on my water/hydration. What color your stick will be if you're not in ketosis will vary with the stick. It'll be the "negative" color for the stick on the side of the tube. For several sticks, that's a tan color.
