Symptoms And Signs That You're In Ketosis

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.

What Is Ketosis ?

What Is Ketosis ?  Ketone Bodies are chemical molecules that your body makes after 10-12 hours of not having any sugar. They are the byproducts of fat burning, they break down fat instead of sugar to create glucose for energy.  When we convert our body from sugar to fat, it takes between 3 days to 2 weeks, up to 6 weeks (depending on how long you've been running your body on sugar).  Let's say that sugar is dirty fuel (diesel for example) and fat is like solar, a very clean source of fuel.  When we run our body on Ketones, it's much more stable with your blood sugars, you don't have these highs and lows anymore. That's why you're going to be so level headed and your brain is gonna love it, your memory is gonna be more sharper, and you'll be much more focused. Ketones are the original fuel source of the brain , our bodies long ago ran on ketones, they're originally designed to run on ketone bodies, not sugar. It's only until very recently ...
