What was your carb intake as low carb?
There's always the keto urine strips; they even sell them at Wal-Mart in the US for $6.00.
I don't use them, but I did on my 5th day of eating keto.
At first keto feels weird, then energy out the ***.
But may be different already being low carb.0 -
I think how you feel/non-testing “symptoms” of being in ketosis varies from person to person. For me, my saliva is extremely sweet, I’m not sneezing/swollen/red eyes all the time from seasonal allergies (of which I have something year-round), and I’m not falling asleep at my desk at 2:00pm. And I’m not taking Tylenol/ibuprofen multiple times a day to avoid aches (and have that not provide relief for more than 1.5-2 hours)
As @Emmapatterson1729 said, though, you may have already been experiencing some of the impact. Or done some healing and changes will not be as dramatic as switching cold turkey1 -
Thanks for the replys today is day 15 keto I went through the no energy for a few days last week but other than that I feel good now
Must admit my appetite is gone out the window I have to force myself to eat
And I don't know if it is connected or not but my teeth have become very sensitive I read it can happen on keto2 -

That's why I add olive oil and cheeses to every thing I cook... Just to bump up the calories!
I wouldn't know about the sensitive teeth... Mine have been over sensitive my entire life... Never could bite a popsicle or ice...
But I know when we started keto, we were concerned with vitamin c levels and scurvy.... But I started adding mixed bell peppers, which shoots my vitamin c over daily recommended value.0 -
My teeth were fine, but about a week in my skin was super sensitive for a few days.... really weird feeling, it passed after about 4 days...Lifterofheavystuff wrote: »I don't know if it is connected or not but my teeth have become very sensitive I read it can happen on keto
