I am on day 3 Induction and it should be starting soon, but what are some physical symptoms to recognize it? I know I should get the strips but cant right now (we live in a semi-rural town and our area had a freak snowstorm yesterday that laid down over two feet of snow and alot of our roads and businesses are closed!! lol) Besides, I hear those arent completely reliable....

Dont waste your money on the stripes. Ketosis cause cause bad breath, flu like symptoms, etc. Losing inches is the best way to tell.

Also, a change in the smell of your urine or sweat is another way of knowing your in keotsis....I agree with the others - keep your money - the strips are a waste of money!Carole_____________________May Water 130oz daily

Re: How to know when you're in ketosis??
Thanks! I am heading into Day 4 tomorrow and, though I had a little rough spell today with some cravings and feeling sluggish and tired, I am happy to say I didn't cave!! It is feeling good to be accomplishing my goal, even when taking it one day at a time! I should definitely be in ketosis soon, if it hasn't started already!CLB121

Well done for being 4 days into your Atkins journey on track
Feeling tired and sluggish is one of the initial signs of being in ketosis for some people (before they experience the extra energy Dr Atkins talks of), so you might be there already
How is your appetite?Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?

Re: How to know when you're in ketosis??
Hey! thanks for the advice. Elizellen, my appetite has been pretty normal up until yesterday was when I started to not feel so hungry. I could be in ketosis as this is my 6th day and I am feeling great!!! Alittle tired still but it comes and goes so I still get stuff done. I dont have that weird taste in my mouth or smell any change in breath or anything. Do I HAVE to have these to be in ketosis?? I think I may weigh and measure myself on thursday as it will be my 7day mark, but I may wait...CLB121
