How do you know if ketosis is gone??

[ChellyWellyBoot]

i think ive knocked myself out of ketosis!

I took anadin yesterday and wasnt sure what would happen, and i dont know if im being paranoid but the bad taste in my mouth doesnt seem to be as strong!!

Painkillers do not knock you out of ketosis as they don't vcontain carbs...maybe the caffeine in it made a small change, but I don't hink you should be fretting about a headache tablet or two! If you are out of ketosis you will know as you will be very very hungry and the first thing you are likely to want to eat is some form of refined carb...(choc, cake, bread, etc)

MY bad breath came back with a vegenance so i think it was just the toothpaste keeping it fresh this morning lol!!
I was in the works toilet brushing my teeth and tongue again and some girl walked in and was giving me funny looks lol

Might be worth buying ketostix from chemist.. that can test if you're in ketosis and also how far in you are
