how do you know when you're in ketosis?

[DieselKid]

I read this forum and everyones talking about going into and getting kicked out of it. I've been trying Keto for 4-5 days and I'm wondering how one knows when they're in it and how they know they've been kicked out. Thanks.

I've wondered and asked this too, but never got an answer. People say "I ate an apple and I got kicked out of ketosis". If they are using keto sticks, those are not reliable. So, I don't know the answer and would like to know too.

[hercules71185]

am also curious I've been on it for 10 days. I'm guessing they mean that narly taste you get in our mouth all day.

[DietSpam]

I believe everyone's body reacts differently to this diet. I'd guess people who can claim these thing either have very strong indicators of being in ketosis like the metallic taste in their mouths and strong odor in their urine or from experience on this diet and testing with those keto strips as a guide to how their body reacts to different foods in their diet. At least that's my guess.

I know for myself that I can't really identify that metallic taste, but I usually have gum in my pocket for any sign of bad breath. =P

when you jump on the scale and have lost weight?

when you're in ketosis:

the first days, you'll feel sick, headache, dehydrated, constant feeling of wanting to throw up, mouth tastes bad, breath smells bad and you may pee as aften once every 90 minutes.

few days later, all that sickness will be over, energy levels will explode up, moods will be much better. you won't feel hungry as often as normal.you may pee as ofen as every 60 miutes.

few days later, moods will become more stable, peeing back to once every 2-3 hours.

the best visual way to know I'm in ketosis, is the foam that covers the pee while in ketosis, this will get thicker as you go deeper into ketosis.

you can buy keto strips from the walmart or other pharmacy if you want proof, you stream your urine on them and they'll change color if you're in ketosis

[westcoasteagle]

For me it's feeling extra tired on the 2nd or 3rd day and by the 4th feeling normal/great

Bull, they are a joke. If you are dehydrated they will give you a false positive.

KetoStix are a key sign of a ketard.

That's true over a longer time, but not hours as I sometimes read people claim about going into and out of ketosis.

[Minotaur]

So in the end, imo, this "getting kicked out and going back into ketosis" over such short periods of time is mind over matter.

DING DING DING At most getting kicked out of ketosis will stall progress for a very limited time.

ketostixs, work temporarily. If ur losing weight, and following TKD or keto, ur good to go.

[jked4life]

I tried those damn things a few times but never tested for ketones. I knew I was in ketosis though.

Besides, as long as you are doing the diet right and in a caloric deficit it really doesn't matter if you are in or out. It's not as important as people make it out to be.

always wondered about this. is it just your body not breaking down everything completely or what? its so weird!

urin contains extra ketones which are kicked out the body to maintain healthy PH-levels (while in ketosis). this gives :urin+ketones

the same thing doesn't happen when not in ketosis. this gives urin without ketones
