Hi, Sabina!

First, do you have Keto Sticks? Some people don't rely on them but I find they motivate me a lot!!! Here is an excellent starting place:

If I keep my water the same every day and measure ketones at the same time every day, the same time after I've eaten they are very regular, for me. Also, whenever I've eaten something Iffy the color does get lighter (even though experts say color doesn't matter - you decide from testing on yourself).

Yes, there are physical signs; keto stick turns, your breath is SWEETER, not bad, just a sweet taste in your mouth - brush you teeth more and you won't even notice it. Also, your urine will smell sweeter. Keep up your water and this will dimish as well.

I also drink peppermint (check carbs) tea when I want a little refresher!

Good luck and keep us posted!

Some people experience a metalic taste in their mouths as well.
