Evening! I know I'm going t sound daft but what is ketosis? And how do you know when u are in it?! I'm incredibly puzzled! X

It usually takes around 3-5 days to get into very common on vlc diets its when ur body uses its stores for energy as u r not giving it the carbs it wasn't smelly urine and breath r common side effects but you can buy ketosticks to test your urine

The side affects sound great dont they!!
But it is true, when u get a strange feeling in your mouth, I cant explain it, but you'll know when it happens!!!
The you can be smug in the knowledge that your diet is working
