Pay attention to what you are eating when the colors change. You may need to back off of artifical sweetners, etc. If you are still getting a "pink reading" I wouldn't worry too much you, should still be in ketosis. It's only when the color stays on neutral and doesnt change that I would be concerned. Actually, I've NEVER seen purple only shades of pink and I've still lost 10lbs, so I don't think you have anything to worry about... 

ok thanks! I do drink alot of iced tea the aritfical sweetener is splenda do you know the 1 zero carbs zero sugar I didn't realize that you should watch your intake on that I thought it was ok to drink... 

Every "packet" of Splenda is equivalent to 1 carb. So, if you're drinking a lot of artificially sweetened ice tea, you're drinking carbs. Artificial sweeteners are also just chemicals you are putting into your body. Why not take the chance on Atkins to cure yourself of the sweet need, and be more friendly to your body?
