On which day did Ketosis start on you?

[morji1988]

Just curious to know about it... I'm on day three and am feeling very excited about it... what's the most most most obvious sign of the onset of ketosis apart from the bad breath?

Hey there Congrats on day 3!! I don't use the sticks because I used to rely on them WAY too much It used to give me a false sense of security...so I stopped using them. Aside from the bad breath, I don't know what the other signs are..minus weight loss? Not much help...but keep up the good work

mine was day 3. if an individual follows atkins WOE they will typically start into ketosis on the 3rd day. this being because of the body burning the glycogen that is left over from the carbs and things eaten. It takes about 2-3 days to start into lypolosis which causes ketosis.

I had physical signs by end of day 2 and the keto sticks showed I was in full at start of day 3. Trace amounts on day 2 though.
