Understanding Ketosis and How to Know If You're in It

While achieving ketosis is not necessary for weight loss on our plan, some individuals choose to approach it as a ketogenic diet. Here are some key indicators that you may be in ketosis:

1. Metallic Taste in the Mouth: This is a common sign. Staying hydrated and using breath strips can help alleviate this sensation.
2. Strong-Smelling Urine: Drinking plenty of water aids in continuously flushing your system, which can help reduce this symptom.
3. Cold Hands and Feet: You might experience this sensation; adding an extra layer of clothing can help keep you warm.
4. Feelings of Well-Being and Euphoria: Many people report an enhanced sense of well-being and euphoria when in ketosis.
5. Reduced Hunger: A significant benefit while dieting, you may notice a decrease in your hunger levels.
6. Increased Energy Levels: You might find yourself with newfound motivation and energy for tasks around the house.
7. Rapid Weight Loss: This can often be a noticeable indicator of being in ketosis.

Using Ketostix for Testing:

• Ketostix: These are available for testing ketone levels in urine. Please read the instructions carefully, as interpreting the readings can be challenging. While they can be helpful, Ketostix are not 100% accurate, so it's generally more reliable to judge your progress through weight loss or inch loss.

Approach for Entering Ketosis:

• Start with shakes initially and gradually incorporate meals and bars.
• Most customers find they can enter ketosis with a daily carb intake of 45 to 55 grams.
• If you’re pursuing a ketogenic approach, it’s advisable to avoid supplementary items like snacks and water flavourings.
