A bit confused with Ketosis.

[Biggie]

Hi everyone Today is the day 7. I did expected it to be nice and easy from when I got into Ketosis. Unfortunately, I was wrong. The Keto-Diastix shows a moderate level of ketones. I remember it was high level on my day 3. But I checked in the morning previously. Just wondering what's going on in my body. I understand the level changes during the day and I should test myself in the morning before I had anything to drink or 'eat'. But... what made me wonder.. I'm damn hungry The hunger comes and goes all the time. It's a bit hard again today. Tomorrow is my first wi and I'm not going to give up. I've been 100% TS from when I started. So expect SOME results tomorrow
Does anyone on day 7 or more still feel hungry from time to time? Does anyone check if the level goes down during a day? Or is it just me worrying and getting stress about tomorrow :sigh:
Hope you all have a good evening!

From what i've read the stix aren't 100% accurate because we are drinking lots of water which dillutes the ketones!

Thanks Elemental
I do want to be in Ketosis... and stop feeling this hunger awrrrgggrrrhhh :|

I'm guessing the hunger will always be there a little as a lot of it's psychological but i'm hoping that actually feeling "famished" will go.....i hate that feeling so much , reminds me of being skint (although i was skinny and hot back then) hahahaha

Put the damn sticks IN THE BIN. There's absolutely no need to check them if you follow the diet you'll be in ketosis. And after 7 days on this it's almost certain you WILL be in ketosis so don't panic

Unfortunately ketosis doesn't mean you'll never be hungry but it shouldn't happen often and it'll pass x

Oh well, I will go and have my shake then
Day 7 finished. I'll be fine tomorrow.

Today is my day 7 and the hunger pangs are gone. I sat with colleagues tucking into "all sorts" today while I had my shakes and it dissent bother me at all. The best part was being the thinnest one there. Made them all wonder about what they were scoffing.

Excited for first wi tomorrow
