Symptoms And Signs That You're In Ketosis

You wanna make sure to be in a Ketogenic Diet for at least 2-3 weeks before you expect to be in that Ketosis state.

You can measure your ketone levels using Keto Strips or a Precision Xtra Meter but in this article, I'm gonna be focusing on clinical signs and symptoms that will let you know that you've finally reached that state of ketosis.

1- Decreased Hunger

Once you're in that ketogenic state, you're not gonna get headaches, you'll not be anxious or hungry, you'll not gonna be having a decrease on focus because you're not having your meal on time, you'll be able to skip meals without feeling any hunger.

So that's a great benefit of ketosis and you're not gonna have those midafternoons crashes because you're not burning sugar for energy, you're burning fat for energy, and it's a more sustainable, more stable source of energy for the body.

2- No More Sugar And Carbs Craving

When your body is burning sugar for energy, what happens is every time your blood sugar gets low, your body starts craving sugar and carbs simply because it's trying to boost that back up to give you energy.

3- Increased Focus

You'll be focused throughout the whole entire day, you gonna notice that your focus is much more increased but you'll not gonna have the focus crashes mid-afternoon or right after a meal.

You're gonna be able to just maintain this focus and that's one of the really great things that a lot of people love about ketosis.

4- High Energy Levels

When you're having blood sugar instability and highs and lows throughout the day, your energy will vary with that.

When you're burning fat for energy it's just that nice and sustainable energy all day long, and it gives you this high energy state from morning till night.

5- Fat Loss

You might notice that your pants are a little bit looser, then you're already shedding that fat.

6- Decreased Inflammation

Your joints aren't aching that much anymore, you wake up in the morning not feeling as achy and all those little pains that you normally feel are disappeared.

Fruits On A Ketogenic Diet ?

Fruits On A Ketogenic Diet ? If you want a short answer, it's a NO . We can not consume fruits on the Keto Diet, they contain a big amount of sugar called fructose and it's what we're trying to avoid so we can get into Ketosis and start to lose weight. Fructose can spike insulin more than Glucose could do. Even a medium apple contains 19 grams of sugar , apples may be healthy but they're not good when it comes about a Ketogenic diet. Same for Fruit Juices , we never want to consume them, they're pasteurized which means that anything that potentially could be left is pretty much killed especially the enzymes; So all what you gonna be getting is concentrated fructose sugar. You also want to avoid the corn syrup they usually add to most of the processed juices. BUT, good news ! Berries are still recommended, as long as they are taken in a very small amount (1/2 to one cup daily). Low glycemic index fruits as berries will not be much dangerous on a ketogenic...
