    Nope, it takes 2-4 days. How are you feeling? Any "Induction flu" symptoms?

      Me, too!! I am on my morning of day three. I was in ketosis last night. I couldn't believe it either. I actually took the test because I wanted to see the before and after.

      For me, I feel good today. I am sleepy and a bit tired, but I think it is jetlag from returning home after six time zones... Yes, that is probably it. Otherwise, I feel fantastic - not at all hungry, etc.

        I feel fine : ) I need to go to the store though, cause im running out of atkins friendly stuff.

        My family is not low carbing, but they insist on eating all my legal foods!
