Does any of you get any different fellings in your body when in keto. I have notice my cheeks gets warm while i am just sat still (i know i am in keto did a strip test ) just wondering if any of you get other sign's to let you know you are in keto.

    Yep, physiological changes are common. :)

    This is largely a result of hormonal changes when in ketosis. Insulin is a "master hormone," which means it controls all sorts of stuff, so when your insulin levels fall, other things change, too, and everything rebalances around your new normal.

    My body temperature actually goes up a degree or so while in ketosis (a good thing since it previously sat at 97.5 and is now actually at 98.6).

    Many women experience menstrual cycle changes, as well. Some for the better, some (usually temporarily) for the worse. Usually, your "new normal" will establish after 3-6 months if yours is disrupted.

    I am warmer in nutritional ketosis as well but the hot weather bothers me less. I guess being down 50 pounds helped with that too.

    I definitely got the warming effect from keto in general, but I also got it from BP beverages, MCT oil in general, T3 thyroid meds, and any naturally fermented foods all created that thermogenic response. I wonder if it meant to my body that all of those things boosted my metabolism?
