Maybe I just need some reassurance, but I did a search and couldn't find anything specific (maybe not searching correctly??).

Anyway, here's the deal: Last week I went into ketosis by Wed. night... but this week...I'm not really in ketosis yet, but maybe edging that direction. In other words more beige than pink.

Now I understand that the ketostix can give false negatives, but... how do I know if I'm in ketosis if it doesn't register on the sticks? I've never had funny smelling breath while in ketosis, nor funny smelling sweat or urine either. Basically, I'm not sure I can tell if I'm in ketosis or not

So, if it takes me from Sunday to thursday to get into ketosis, then I'm basically in ketosis for only one day? I begin the carb loading on Friday and end on Saturday.

I'm at a loss on this one..one day of ketosis doesn't seem enough to me.

Any thoughts?
