If you are on a very low-carb diet in which you eat fewer than 50 g of carbohydrate each day, you are likely to enter into ketosis, a state which low-proponents claim can help to increase weight loss. The reason that ketosis may trigger faster weight loss is that it causes the body to burn fat for fuel, rather than glucose. Calories still count, however, and you should not count on ketosis for lasting weight loss
[h=2]Bad Breath[/h] Bad breath is a hallmark sign of ketosis in low-carb dieting. You may notice that your breath smells "fruity" or that your mouth has an acetone taste. This is due to the ketones that are being released in your body as it burns fat for fuel. Bad breath during ketosis can also be caused by dehydration. Drink plenty of water to eliminate dry mouth, as well as to reduce the number of ketones circulating in your system.
[h=2]Reduced Appetite and Increased Thirst[/h] Antecdotally, many people report having a reduced appetite once they reach ketosis. Nausea is a possible side effect of ketosis and can be a cause of reduced appetite. Keep in mind that a reduced appetite while in ketosis can also be due to the increased amount of protein you are eating, as protein is very satiating. You may experience an increase in thirst as well, as ketosis has a diuretic effect. Be sure to drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.
[h=2]Urine Test Strips[/h] Ketones are released whenever the body makes the transition from burning glucose for fuel to burning fat. They are a byproduct of the process and eliminated through urine. The most reliable way to determine if you are in ketosis is to use ketone test strips. These strips measure the amount of ketones that are present in the urine. Keep in mind that the amount of water you drink can affect the results of the test. If your urine becomes diluted, fewer ketones will be present, and the test may not give a positive result, even if you are in ketosis
