Using Ketostix

[JG1]

I just bought a pack of ketostix, and finished my last carb up meal a few hours ago. I took 600mg ALA with each of my 3 carb up meals that were 75g carbs each. Just used one of the Ketostix and I'm at 5mg/dl. When do you know your in ketosis? The scale on the container goes from 0mg/nl-160mg/nl. At what point are you in ketosis using that scale?

Mine too. Purple is when you are really in. It usually takes a couple of days on a really low carb diet to get in to ketosis. Like 50 grams or less. I can tell when I am in (or at least those around me can) because I get this weird corn like smell! It is nasty as hell.
