YES! 4 days ago I learned about ketosis and promised myself I'd induct myself into it. I eliminated most sugars, most carbohydrates and all starches. I also have been a fiend for the gym, pushing myself pretty hard and burning a decent amount of calories.
Today I picked up a bottle of Ketostix that I ordered 2 days ago, and tested my urine - and I'm in deep ketosis. This means that all the exercise and restricted diet is paying off. I feel so much more motivated and excited. I almost went out and bought a poutine last night. I didn't have the Ketostix so I wasn't even sure if I was in ketosis, and I had been taking Hydroxycut as well which contains caffeine (which interferes with ketosis) so I was teeter-tottering on the idea that I wasn't in ketosis and never would be.. and settled on cucumbers with cottage cheese (sooo delicious).
I feel 100% more motivated now that I know my body is using fat instead of carbohydrates. SO EXCITED TO WORK OUT TODAY.
