Glad you like the salads. I use the Keto stix if the stix stays the same your not in ketosis. if it starts to turn light orange to dark brown you are. there are different levels of ketosis. I read about Ketosis on the Internet before I started using them. and it said any diet under 800 cal a day will put the body into ketosis. I find that even with my Cambridge 3 times a day and having a very low cal meal of salad 3 oz of boiled seasoned chicken or turkey I still show a very low amount of ketosis. but everyone is different. Also some people takes 4 days to show and some takes 24 to 48 hours. I showed ketosis after 48 hours. Hope this helps. also if you are going to add a meal. Remember to add lots of fresh greens and whole wheat's. It takes more cal. to digest these foods then what is in them. Example Ice water take 15 cal for the body to warm so it can use it. Celery has about 5 to 10 cal. in it but take about 25 cal to digest. Food for thought. and Remember Water Water Water. You will do great.

Hi Pam, I've never used the Ketone strips so I'm absolutely no help you there. Regarding adding a meal that completly fine, I do, I add 400 calories daily and there is nothing wrong with it, I've lost 49lbs by doing that. Regarding teh soups, I personally can't stand thm but my husband likes them because they really filled him up he adds a bunch of spices and stuff and makes it really thick and adds hot sauce to it. You should make the oatmeal muffins Barb had posted the recipe a couple of weeks ago and they are also on Ruthann's web page. They are v. good and you can make different variations of it, Ive made chocolate raspberry , chocolate orange and banana coconut. What are the oatmeal bars? Best of luck.
