There are nine very clear signs that will tell you if you're in ketosis or not.

0:05.7

Now, being in ketosis is very, very important, not just to lose weight,

0:10.4

but to get rid of a lot of health problems, diseases, and inflammatory conditions that someone has.

0:17.0

And the problem with testing yourself for ketones to see if you're in ketosis or not

0:21.2

is when you're doing a urine test, for example, or a breath analyzer test, they're not very accurate.

0:27.4

Well, maybe at first they might be a good thing, but as soon as you start to burn ketones more

0:32.9

efficiently, those extra wasted ketones are not going to show up in your urine, they're not

1:34.4

and number two, keto fatigue, and number three, keto rash. Now, if you're doing the healthy version

1:40.5

of the ketogenic diet, and you're really making sure that your foods are nutrient dense and higher

1:45.1

quality, the chances of you getting these symptoms are much less versus someone doing the dirty

1:51.1

version of keto, which is basically you're just doing low carb, and you're not paying attention to

1:55.2

the quality of foods. And another side note on that, if you get diarrhea, for example,
