In this video were talking about the signs that you're in ketosis.
This is something that a lot of people ask.
You know, they are saying I'm following a Ketogenic diet and I'm eating keto foods.
How do I know if I am actually in Ketosis?
Let's go ahead and jump right in.
First of all you want to make sure that you are on a ketogenic diet for an average of
2-3 weeks if you want to go into the state of ketosis.
Then the other thing in order to really accurately measure whether you're in ketosis or not you
can use a precision Xtra meter which is actually going to measure your blood ketone levels
and once you hit 0.5 M/DL and above.
Now optimal levels are 0.5- 3 M/DL.
Now the other thing you can use is urine test strips by Bayer pharmaceutical.
You can use those strips.
They are not as specific or as accurate as the precision xtra meter but they will give
you a good understanding of whether or not you are in ketosis.
You know when you start looking at some of the fine lines of am I at a .5 or a 1.5 you're
not going to be able to measure it quite as well but whether you are absolutely out of
ketosis or in, it can help you get that knowledge and the reason that some people use and prefer
the urine test strips is just because they are much cheaper than buying the meter and
the test strips that go along with it.
Let's go ahead and look at some of the signs and symptoms that you are in ketosis.
First of all you are going to have decrease hunger once you are in that ketogenic state.
So what that means is your not going to get headaches or angry or anxious or have a decrease
in focus because you are not having your meal on time.
You can actually cruise right through that meal time with a meal and still not get super
hungry.
So that is one of the great benefits of ketosis and you are not going to have those mid afternoon
crashes because you're not burning sugar for energy, you're burning fat for energy.
And it is a more sustainable, more stable source of energy for the body.
So you are not going to get that hunger all the time.
Now the other thing is that you are not going to have those sugar and carb cravings.
You are going to see a huge decrease in that.
Once again 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 is trying
to boost that back up to give you energy.
So when your ketosis, you are not having those cravings.
You are going to have a increase focus throughout the whole entire day.
So you are going to notice over all your focus is so much more increased but you are not
going to have the focus crashes mid afternoon or after a meal.
You're gonna be able to just maintain that focus and that's one of the really great things
that a lot of people love about ketosis.
Now here is the other thing you will have a increase in energy.
You know, I was talking about the blood sugar, once again, you know, when you are having
blood sugar instability and highs and lows throughout the day.
Your energy will vary with that.
When you are burning fat for energy it's just that nice sustainable energy all day long
and it gives you that high energy state from morning till night.
The next is you're going to have a increase in fat loss.
You might notice your pants are a little bit loose, you might notice that your shedding
that fat around the waist line.
So, you are going to, though you maintain muscle mass you are going to start shedding
that fat.
You will see some benefits there.
You will also have a decrease in inflammation.
One of the ways that you will know that you will have a decrease in inflammation in the
entire body is that your joints won't ache as much.
You'll wake up in the morning not feeling as achy and all those little pains that you
normally feel.
So you are just going to feel a lot better over all.
So these are the signs that you're in ketosis.
