How do u know if ur in ketosis?

[pinkcupcake106]

Just wondering how u can tell if ur in ketosis without using sticks to test? & how long does it normally take to achieve this with this diet?
Thanks x

There are a few things - you'll have more energy, you won't feel hungry (apart from at "normal" times), and you'll have a disgusting taste in your mouth, especially in the mornings! I usually compare it to rotting fruit, ha. Lovely, I know, but drinking lots of water helps. The sticks are notoriously unreliable so it's often best to go with how you feel.

Ooh, as for length, it's normally after maybe 5 days average?

Thanks, sounds fun! At least if the weight loses r good it'll b worth it.

I'm on day 15 and I still don't know if I'm in ketosis as I'm starving most of the time! x

Hiya hun, I get really cold when im in ketosis. But I have ketone sticks as well. Some people have said they get really bad breath.
