While you can purchase ketone strips and blood glucose meters at pharmacies and online to test your urine and blood for the presence of ketones, it is just as easy to monitor your body. Signs of ketosis include:
- Metallic tasting/smelling breath
- Strong smelling urine
- Thirsty
- Reduced appetite
- Diminished cravings for carbs/sugar
- Mental clarity
- Euphoria
- Sustained energy
If you are experiencing many of these symptoms and have been eating that 75-20-5 ratio of healthy fats, proteins and carbs, there is a good possibility that you are in ketosis.
