Checked my ketone levels yesterday (by urine stick) and it showed none. Checked today, high ketosis.
Did I get a bad stick? I should not have jumped from 0 to 80 (on the stick) in less than 24 hours should I?

Ketones are generally higher in the evening. As you adapt, readings will get lower because you are using them instead of excreting them.

I get what you are saying. Here is the thing, I have been in ketosis for about a month. Even the days I cheated (ate way more carbs that I should have, about 70g) it still only dropped me into a light ketosis (15 on the sticks).
I normally check my ketone level in the evening, basically because that is when I have time to remember.
Two days before I got the no ketone reading, I had abou 50g of carbs (due to hidden carbs in some veggies I ate for dinner, I really should have looked at those labels better). So i figured maybe I had screwed up. But to check the very next day and read an 80 on the ketosticks, that does not make sense. Unless it was just a bad stick, I don’t understand why I would jump that quickly back to the level I was at before.
