How do you know if you are in Ketosis?

How do you know when you are in ketosis? I have those keto-stick thingys... What color should it be? Also, how are you supposed to feel?

Thanks

You've been on IP for a week, if you've followed the program you are in ketosis. The sticks aren't 100% accurate and some people find it stresses them out more than anything else. I've never used them. Your pee might smell a little different, your breath too. You're not quite as hungry. You lose weight. There is no identical symptom for everybody, but you shouldn't worry about it :) Don't have more carbs than you're allowed to and ketosis happens on its own. It's a survival mechanism.

Thank so much! And yes those darn sticks are stressing me out! Lol
I know I'm 100% OP so I'm sure I'm there!
