  • You should be in Keto by now. You will know that you are if your breath is kinda fruity or metallic tasting. But you wont be fat adapted for another few weeks. I was in ketosis by day 3.

    Thx Gretchen. Just 1 question what do mean by “being fat adapted”? What does that mean?

  • Weegal  fat adapted means your body will burn fat efficiently on its own without the aid of added fats in your diet.

  • Bigmark66  dark urine test strips means you ate dehydrated and concentrated ketones. Drink more water. I drink 100oz daily.

    gretchenhulett I didn’t say they went to the maximum dark purple. I’ve done this before. I drink 5 pints of water a day at least.
