Hi,

I have some questions about the ketosis phase. I am hoping you guys have answers.

I read that if your mouth tastes sweet, then your body is in ketosis. But, does the mouth need to taste sweet ALL THE TIME to be sure that your body is in ketosis? Or do we have a sweet taste every now and then?

What are the other symptoms (aside from the sweet taste) of ketosis?

I am curious.... because if, unknowingly, I ate a non-MF item (by mistake, ofcourse)...how would I know if that knocked me outta ketosis? (For enquiring minds.....no...I didn't cheat, yet!)

One really good sigbn that you are in ketosis = you are losing weight.
Having a sweet taste is a symptom for some. Having dark urine for a day or so is another. Some use ketostix. There are lots of ways to check, but not all methods work for each person.

I don't have the sweet taste in my mouth...but I do have a metallic taste every now and then. Also, my urine sometimes smells sweet (I know, TMI!)

Also, there is the decreased hunger that comes with ketosis, and don't forget the big one...if your breath kills housplants and sends dogs running, you're definitely in there!

Thank U Guys! I started having the sweet taste in my mouth on my 4th day of MF....but yesterday..I didn't have that! So, I wondered if I got knocked out of ketosis!

Well, I don't feel hungry or tired at all! So, that means my ketosis is alive and kicking. Yay!

Thanks for all your replies. You guys are THE BEST!
