Ketosis detector?
Hello! Week 2 of keto eating, and loving it (5 lbs in a week? Even if it's just water I'll take it-feels better!). Question-how do you know if you are in ketosis?

Met with a personal trainer last night, and am deliciously sore today.

Since I am vegan, I'm kind of…

OK scale- I finally get it
The weighing thing will make you crazy. According to the scale, I gained 6 pounds since Sunday, with no real change to my regimen other than some cocktails Saturday night.
