I only have the ketostix and not a meter, but when I test first thing in the AM, I'm on "trace" and when I test before bed, I'm at small or medium even though I haven't eaten for hours! But they are consistent with never being higher than trace first thing upon waking and never below small at night.
And, my books came yesterday (Phinney's Art & Science of LC, and the one that is about performance that just came out). Can't wait to read them as I'm very discouraged.....nearly a year of LC and strict induction and only one pound lost.
