Hook or by crook Iam going to turn this lipo stick a color. I don ' t know why, It ' s the battle of the stick for me.

today I got it to go into the moderate color

I had to increase my veggie intake and decrease my protein. Go figure!

I have been reading that some folks here adjust their diet. It worked.

And away we gooooooooo!!!

Good for you, Wendy. [ / icon_biggrin. gif] It sure is great to have all your hard work accredited isn ' t it?

I used to be in the moderate sector on a regular basis with a once in a while trace reading. The last 8 days I ' ve been pushing myself on the treadmill and have seen the darkest color for hard ketosis no matter what time of day I use the stick. For me at least, exercise is the answer to the darker color.

The reason I ' ve monitored daily since beginning the workouts is because I ' ve also been upping the carbs a little. It ' s a " use ' em or lose ' em " thing with the sticks since they appear to be viable for just six months under even optimal conditions.

Yeah, mine down here in the South only seem to last very well for about 3 months once opened.

You both have discovered the real " trick " to Atkins, adjusting to make it work for you. You have done some experimenting and it seems to be working. That ' s why it ' s great for people to see this and think whether something might work for them. Atkins has done a good thoughtful job about putting this together over the years. For those of us who don ' t want to think, weigh or measure he has essentially made it easy to follow Induction. For those of us who are very serious and really into this, we are very rigorous and he has provided some insight there as well. For those of us who are resistant with a host of other health issues that can effect weight loss, he has given us some clues how to fix this.

So, if you don ' t see your " issue " represented here then ask because more than likely someone has had a similar issue. [ / icon_biggrin. gif]
