how do i know when in ketosis???

[biggredd31]

I have searched on ketosis and found a shit load about it except how to know when you are in it. I started a low \ no carb diet on monday. I am getting between 10 and 15 grams of carbs a day so far. Anyway, how do I know when ketosis occurs?

Thanks!

Go to the local pharmacy, look for the diabetic aisle where the product you need is Ketosix. (they in a yellow bottle) Ketosix tests your urine for ketone content.

Your urine and breath will smell like acetone.

Thanks for the responses!!! I must be there then, because on Tuesday I felt like death warmed over, moody as hell. I felt sorry for my chick.

be careful though... it is possible to be in ketosis and
not have the ketostix change colors... they will for most
people but there are few that release their ketones through
sweating and breath rather than pee!
