Deborah asked... >How do you know if you're in ketosis? Head on down to your local pharmacy (or large grocery store with a pharmacy) and pick up Ketostix. I've found this brand and another, the name of which I forget. Ketostix give you an instant result; the other took forever. On your next visit to the TidyBowl Man, hold a stick in the urine stream and you'll soon be in the know. What cracks me up about this ritual is that you do the same thing with a pregnancy test. I bought those on an almost regular basis back when my periods were still irregular. Thank God that's over! Time after time, I was scared to death I might be pregnant. I'm close to clockwork now and ketosis and pregnancy are two entirely different things. But there's still a little bit of stress in peeing on a stick in light of my previous nightmares.
