Ketostix AND Ketosis

[NFG123]

I just bought ketostix (R) brand uranalysis strip for keto-cutting diet I am on, and I am in day 4 now and am only getting the "small" reading for ketone bodies (15 mg acetoacetic acid/dL) .. my question is at which point are you considered to be in "ketosis" and how far can I get towards moderate ... or LARGE for someone with normal insulin fuction.

Thanx,
NFG

Oh yeah

My diet is 25 g carbs / day

15 g carbs from the sugar free metamucil I take so I dont sweat bullets on the john, and 10 g from protein shakes that is inherent in it.

Your body only makes Keytone Bodies when you're in Ketosis. The very definition of Ketosis is having Keytone Bodies in your urine. So even if you have a trace amount, you're in Ketosis.
