Any of these signs may indicate that you are in ketosis:
- Decreased appetite and increased energy levels
- Increased thirst and frequent urination
- Keto breath, which may be more noticeable to others than to yourself
- Dry mouth or a metallic taste in your mouth
To confirm that you're in ketosis, you can measure your ketone levels with either urine strips or blood tests (blood tests tend to be more accurate). If you're using urine strips, a dark purple color typically indicates the highest level of ketones.
