Back on the Dukan wagon!
Hi,
Sorry to be a pain, but another :newbie: question.
As the title says, how do I know if I'm in ketosis please?
I've done a bit of internet research and don't appear to have any of the common symptoms - i.e. bad taste in my mouth, smelly wee.
I started Attack on Monday and did find it hard going and had quite a few snacks (Dukan friendly!). Wee'd for England! Had a slight headache before bed
On Tuesday (day 2) I had a headache and was still getting quite hungry.
Wednesday (day 3) I had a headache in the morning and went to bed with a very bad one.
Thursday (day 4) woke up with a headache but that went fairly quickly, legs ached after 20min walk. Still snacked.
Friday (day 5) No headache - yay! Found that I couldn't eat as much protein in a meal as I had done on previous days as I seemed to be satisifed quicker. Legs didn't ache after 90 min walk.
Saturday (day 6 and final day on attack)
No headache. Again satisfied quicker and snacked a lot less.
Drinking my 2 litres per day and still weeing loads!
BUT
no funny taste in my mouth and no funny smelling wee.
I am prone to headaches anyway, so that isn't anything unusual for me.
Do you think I am in ketosis without those symptoms? How was it for you?
Thanks for reading and thanks for any advice given xx
