So does this mean I'm in Ketosis

Sorry Keto newb. I've been on Keto diet for 4 days now I thought it may be too soon but I was curious. I went ahead and grabbed the keto test strips I had bought at CVS and used one just now. This is my first time using one of these keto test strips so I want to be sure I'm understanding it right.

It seems to be between the moderate and large part of the chart thats on the bottle. Being moderate or large means i'm in Ketosis?

If so, it happens that fast? Just 4 days?

    If the strip is registering ketones, then they are being spilled in your urine. So yes, welcome to ketosis =)
    Every one is different in regards to ketosis. It's how your body responds. For example, my husband started showing within 3 days, and was showing extra lage/highest reading on the strips within a week. I on the other hand didn't show until almost a week, and have never been out of large. We both eat the same low carb foods, same amount, same everything. His body just reacted differently.
