Ketosis is like being pregnant, you are or you aren't. The level on the stix means nothing....except if you are at the highest level you may not be getting enough water in. You do not show ketones 24/7...it is a dump and when your body is dumping you will register. MANY things can effect the color (or lack of it)...so don't sweat it, it's just a tool (and an addictive one at that) that has little merit in the long run. If you are losing, you're losing!

-when i was doing the atkins diet, i had to take a daily measure of ketones...it was explained to me that having high ketosis means that your body is burning fat, not sugar. I would think that if your ketosis is low, then you are not burning fat, but carbs which means yes, you are eating too many carbs. We want to burn fat. Reduce your carb intake and you should be burning fat in no time!!
