ketosis??

[ashleyonescu]

I'm trying the keto diet. I have read that people can taste the ketones, but how do you know what they taste like?? Can anyone help?

If you go into the General Topics under Nutrition, they have a great thread on the Keto Diet. I started the Keto Diet a few weeks ago and this thread really helps alot.

To answer your question, I've read that you will have a "Fatty" taste in your mouth or your breath will smell like "Chicken". The way that I can tell that I am in Ketosis is my pee is always yellow even though I am drinking about a gallon of water a day.

Good luck and check out that thread.....Teresa

I'm eating over 100 carbs a day and I am in ketosis as well. Which I find odd. I use ketone sticks to pee on to see if I'm in ketosis. Those in the morning are nice and purple.

Oh and the taste is sweet. Almost like splenda sweetner sweet. I should know I suffered through Atkins for a whole year. That taste was always there.
