Signs of ketosis:

If you are depending on the sticks to tell you-don't. Those sticks are known to be unreliable. Plus they only measure 1 type of ketones and there are two or three kinds.

Most of us went through an adjustment period when we started low carbing. We felt tired, easily fatigued, and even a bit dizzy as our body switched from burning carbs to burning fat. In addition, there can be an, um, change in bathroom habits. For some it was constipation for a day or two, for me it was just the opposite. Do you have any of these symptoms? Also ketosis has some interesting signs itself. Bad taste in the mouth (slightly metallic for me), smelly urnine, lowering of appetite and some people report that they felt hot-especially at night.
