The currently popular keto diet involves eating lots of fat and few carbs. Then the body begins to produce energy from fat, that is, simply to burn it. But how to understand that ketosis in the body has started? Here are some signs, in addition to losing weight, that you are already following.
1. Bad breath
Ketosis byproducts are excreted through all available openings and routes, including the mouth. Then the breath acquires the smell of acetone. For others, it’s not very pleasant, and you can easily guess that the process has begun.
2. You started to tire faster
As the body adapts to get energy in new ways, it will “worry” about the lack of carbs, and this will manifest itself in your fatigue.
3. But then the energy will come back!
When the process is established, everything will fall into place. It may seem to you that there is more energy than usual, but in fact the body has simply returned to what it was before.
4. Appetite will decrease
The reasons for this are not yet clear. This is probably due to a change in the bacterial flora, or because ketone bodies affect the functioning of the hypothalamus.
5. You run to the bathroom more often.
At first, the body does not get used to dealing with so much fat, which can cause temporary diarrhea or flatulence with an unpleasant odor. But in a few days everything will pass.
