A Little Research

So I was wondering if I was actually in Ketosis or not. I've had some people tell me that it's hard to tell when you hit that ... stage? I always thought it was a decrease in appetite with an increase in energy. I'm missing the latter.

[I]Symptoms of ketosis include general tiredness, abrupt or gradually increasing weakness, dizziness, headaches, confusion, abdominal pain, irritability, nausea and vomiting, sleep problems and bad breath. [Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine 68(2001): p.761][/I]

Well, I'm in it .. I have the tiredness, weakness (thinking about Thursdays aerobics class - thought I was going to DIE), dizziness, headaches, always confused and irritable. Thankfully I don't have the abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting or sleep problems. The bad breath ... no one has said anything. Then again, I haven't been that close to anyone today. I'll just have to make sure I brush my teeth ... a lot. I just hope it helps.
