You'll feel less shitty when the shift is done. Just before it, you just are very tired and want to sleep but when it's done you have much more energy. I heard that the smell of sweat and breath change too but I did not really notice. IP: Logged |

Yep, breath is a good sign. Its called diabetic breath because your processing so many ketones. IP: Logged |

hum I forgot to mention the most precise symptom according to me. When I'm in ketosis my heart is pumping harder than usually perhaps because of the greater adrenaline release. IP: Logged |

Hey, just buy some ketostix..they are cheap..and effective. Dont worry if the color isnt the same every morning...its just that sometimes your body holds different amounts of ketones than other mornings.. Later, IP: Logged |

Hey Digga, I'm in ketosis right now. I have ketostix, but don't waste your money on them. They are simply way too untreliable (for me at least - some swear by them). The way I tell is if I feel like shit - groggy and fatigued - I then take a good sized nap and feel refreshed. It means I'm in. Also, I feel like I'm walking around with a mouthful of pennies (very metallic taste in my mouth), and like someone else said, a faster beat to my heart (which may be what's responsible for the 'alert' feeling once in ketosis). Finally, when I breathe deeply and especially when I'm active, I get a burn in my lungs, like inhaling acetone or nail polish remover. IP: Logged |

That's a very intelligent question. The diet appears to be safe, since doctors put kids with epilepsy on long term ketosis diets (no carb-ups!) for about a year at a time. By keeping the concentrations of ketones in the kids' blood high, they keep their seizures away. So, it seems as though the diet is safe (at least for a year at a time anyway). IP: Logged |

When I am in ketosis, after cardio I get the shakes. Does this happen to anyone else. IP: Logged |

"shakes" It's like the feeling you get after drinking like 5 cups of coffee. Kinda like ECA effects or clen. IP: Logged |

I went to the gym today and I had such bad diabetic breath, I brushed my teeth twice before leaving the house this morning, I got to the gym and I could smell it. Pretty sad when you can smell your own breath. Anything I can take to cover up the smell? Did I mention my persperation smelt funny too? Digga IP: Logged |
