Ketosis

[newshoes]

I'm new to all this
How do you tell if your body is in ketosis?
Is it important to buy the sticks?
I don't seem to be having any of the 'symptoms' of ketosis.

Thanks in advance

Re: Ketosis

How do you tell if your body is in ketosis?

Are you losing weight or inches?

Are you feeling good?

There's a list of ketosis symptoms here:

but not everyone notices them.

Is it important to buy the sticks?

No. You don't need the sticks.

Re: Ketosis

Thanks, I am only on day 4- I weighed yesterday and had lost 2lbs- I will weigh again tommorow and see.

I wake up every night with a really dry mouth- hopefully this is one of the signs as I am drinking loads of water- like 4 litres a day.

Thanks for that link- it helped me understand you don't necessarily have to have the 'breath'.
