A stick I used before I went to bed showed up quite dark, yet in the morning the stick showed there weren't any ketones.... what's going on? There appears to be many reasons why ketones don't register on a stick:"Keto pioneers Stephen Phinney and Jeff Volek found that keto dieters blew higher readings early on in the diet when they were still burning ketones in the muscle. As they grew adapted to free fatty acids as a source of fuel and produced ketones primarily for the brain, ketone levels dropped. It was totally normal. If anything, they were more fat- and keto-adapted at lower ketone readings."<a href="https://www.marksdailyapple.com/why-am-i-getting-low-ketone-readings-on-a-ketogenic-diet/" target="_blank">https://www.marksdailyapple.com/why-am-i-getting-low-ketone-readings-on-a-ketogenic-diet/</a></blockquote>
