Finally...Life begins
Hi,
I am still not sure what to do, I restarted back on Cambridge on Monday evening ( i hadn't followed a low carb plan before hand) but was in ketosis when I went to bed on tuesday night! - slightly pink.
By wednesday morning and everytime I have tested since, its now dark dark purple. I am told this is a sign of dehydration? But I have upped my water intake this time to 4 litres, - only used to do 2.5 a day, plus maybe one can of coke zero.
I have only had plain water, and some days over 4 litres, I can't manage anymore at the moment but of course am worried about what can happen if i stay in deep ketosis? Yes I love it because I am not hungry and the weight is falling off me, I weighed 19st 4.5 pounds on tuesday morning, the scales this morning say i am 18st 7.0 thats just in 5 days. Ok I know there can be big losses in the first weeks, but i never went dark purple unless I hadn't managed my water!!
I feel fine, going to the loo very regularly (tmi - light straw colour, clear by the afternoon)
Any advice? What can i do?
