Day 5
Day 5. So far, headaches seem to be the prime complaint of the 12 day start up phase. I have been checking with KetoStix, but so far am showing no signs of being in ketosis. On the other hand, I am also reading that it is not uncommon to not show anything on the sticks, and not to get too wrapped up in those results. However, I stopped taking my regular chewable Vitamin C’s??? maybe they have too much sugar and are keeping me out of ketosis? I’ll have to find another type. Wow, I hope I’m not THAT sensitive to carbs! Morning blood glucose is 4.4, so still holding nice and low and steady there??? I woke up with the slightest hint of a headache, so rather than wait until it turned into a monster, I took some Advil. I hate using that stuff, but I need to function, and I know that the headaches are only temporary.UPDATE!! I finally hit ketosis this afternoon! The headaches seem to have gone and I feel really quite good! YAY!!
