A low carb, high fat diet called the ketogenic diet may help with improving weight and health. In response, the body produces ketones to help energize the brain. Here are some signs the body may be in this “ketosis” phase: Bad breath (from elevated ketone levels), weight loss, increased ketones in the blood, breath, or urine, decreased appetite, more focus and energy, short term fatigue and decrease in performance, digestive issues, and insomnia. The most accurate assessment of this is to measure ketones in the breath, urine, or blood, on a regular basis.
Key Takeaways:
- A decrease in hunger is a sign of ketone diet. The body learns to burn fat rather than consume more food.
- Higher levels of ketones in the blood are a sign the diet is working.
- Ketogenic diets makes weight loss quick. Initially it is water weight then the body fat starts to drop off.
“Many people on ketogenic diets and similar diets, such as the Atkins diet, report that their breath takes on a fruity smell.”
