    You don't have to get a headache or "keto flu" from going low carb. That's not an indication that you're doing it right, it's more of an indication that you're missing something (salt, fat, calories, water)

    If you want a good indicator look for ketone test strips at the drug store and track the amount of ketones in your urine. Here's some info:

    You will probably also "taste" ketosis in your breath or your urine will smell a little different.

    You may want to track your fiber--then count net carbs which is carbs then subtract the fiber. It looks like you are doing things right.

    I didn't get the headache until day 4. You have to use up all of the stored glucose from your muscles and liver first.

    I would ditch the fruit cake. Tbs is more than 50% carbs. You will have a difficult time getting into ketosis if that is your goal, eating fruit cake.
