How do you know if your body is in ketosis?
I have been getting quite a few emails and comments lately from people who have been asking me exactly that:
I have been getting quite a few emails and comments lately from people who have been asking me exactly that:
“How do I know if I am in ketosis?”
After a bit of discussion back and forth, the conversation usually reveals that:
1) The ketone strips that Dr. Atkins recommended are only turning pink;
and/or
2) They are not losing much weight.
For that reason, many people believe they are not in ketosis. Since both of these ideas show a disconnect between:
- the purpose of ketosis
- weight loss
- and low-carb diets
During that search, I found this old post on how to tell if you are in ketosis. Originally, it was written back in 2012. It contained a bulleted list of symptoms that could help you know if you are in ketosis. It also explained what you can do to ease the symptoms and make yourself more comfortable while going through the process.
I decided that since so many of you are struggling and don't know if you are in ketosis, I would give the post a major overhaul, so it will accurately reflect what we know today.
