Ive been almost deep purple on the stick every night for about 2 weeks now. I test around 8 or 9 each night. Sometimes its not as intense. the only thing is I don't think Im losing weight.Could it be wrong.

One thing I will say is if your test strips are deep purple you are probably not drinking enough water. That said, have you weighed or measured yourself to see if you are in fact losing either pounds or at least inches?

Back on my first go-round with Atkins, I checked for Ketosis regularly and it never was consistant with my losing. I would be in trace, yet losing fine, or it would be very purple and yet nothing positive on the scale. This go-round I'm not using them at all. They can be frustrating, disappointing, or encouraging, but you never know which.

As far as being deep purple and not drinking enough water, that is a myth. Infact if you reed on one of the sticky threads for some questions answered, the expert clearly states water consumption has no value in the color. I will however, agree with anck about sometimes losing good in trace amounts, yet seeing nothing while in dark purple. BUT, I do KNOW that you are losing fat, it just may take a while to see the whoosh!

Good luck
