By the way, don't use the ketostix... They are not designed to measure the kind of ketosis resulting from this eating plan. They are for Type 1 diabetics. After low carbing for a while, our bodies slow or stop excreting ketones into the urine. Also the amount of water we drink dilutes them. At some point they will stop registering ketosis even though you ARE in it.
As long as you are 100% on protocol, you ARE in ketosis. No stix (or validation from a coach) needed.
Let us know what she says tomorrow!
Although I'm just in my first week - I also asked my coach about getting Ketostix, she mentioned not to bother because as JLUS mentioned our bodies slow or stop excreting ketones AND that we also eliminate ketones through our breath and there is no way to measure that level. Stay strong - you are doing GREAT!
