Hi all,

Excuse the prob stupid question (complete novice) and really sorry if I am being completely stupid in asking.

I know after 3 days on plan your body starts to go into ketosis, are there any signs I can be on the look out for to identify if I am indeed there?

I don't want to buy the sticks if I don't have to (plus have no idea how to read them) if there is a simpler way to identify it.

Thanks in advance

Hi Kara to be honest if you've stuck to the diet then you will be in ketosis, some people get a bad taste in their mouth and bad breath but to be honest the only sign that I have is that I'm freezing, constantly freezing

I can definitely concur with the freezing part of it! I get very cold throughout the day - I have to bring extra things to wrap myself up in at work! But I also get a strong metallic taste in my mouth as well as it feeling very dry.

Hiya,

I'm doing a TFR diet too I'm in ketosis now. I am freezing, sometimes you get a very intense headache (lasts a day or so) and a dry/fuzzy tongue which unfortunately will accompany bad breath !

Believe it or not there's virtually nothing you can do to stop this, it may calm down by itself

Well done on your hard work already x

Thank you everyone for your input. I was wondering is the cold thing was just me ha ha. Had a few slips but i am suffering with the dry/mouth and feeling cold so maybe they havent been as detromental as i thought

Thanks again

Yeah if they were affecting your ketosis I'm sure your tongue would return back to normal pretty quickly

Any time (p.s this is my third time for lipotrim! And all of these things have always happened each time - don't worry) x
