"Funny" feeling --- could be Ketosis?

yvonne326 · 09-11-2008, 07:47 AM

Yesterday, while everyone was cold in our meeting, I was hot. And then last night, I awoke around 3am feeling very jittery (like when you have too much caffeine) despite not having any caffeine). Needless to say I am exhausted today. I also have been urinating a lot more than what I consume (I think anyway..sure feels like it).

Don't have any ketone checking sticks but I'd bet my bottom dollar I am in ketosis.

Probably, if you've been on induction for about 3 days

That burst of energy is great isn't it? Also, you'll probably notice your appetite being suppressed which is what makes atkins so awesome!

It takes about 72 hours for the liver to use up its store of glycogen so you are right on track. As for the stix-forget em they are not the tell all end for ketosis. I am one for whom they rarely turn for-even when I whooshed 6 lbs in a week.
