Hey Everyone,
I believe I'm in Ketosis on McDougall. I know some of you won't agree with this but I am familiar with low carb dieting (hated them) and remember that funny taste in my mouth. Well, 12 days on the McDougall, the last couple days I have had that taste so I tested my urine in a ketone stick and it was dark purple indicating a substantial amount of ketones present in the urine. Now, I am eating beans, potatoes, vegetables and fruit. Could it be that my glycogen stores are burning off quickly and it's the result of fat being metabolised? I am shrikning quite rapidly having lost 13 pounds thus far. I just don't get why I am having these ketosis "symptoms" going on. Thanks for any feedback/insight you can provide! Happy McDougalling!
