I always weighed myself in the morning and night because of my water intake. It kind of told me where l was weight wise during a fast. I started another fast yesterday, l am wondering when l will start ketosis? Last time it took 3 days before l felt like it started.

You should try to take your weight consistently. I try to take it right after l wake up. Usually it is a pretty good dry weight.

Really?
What signal do you go off of, to gauge when you're into ketosis?

Start losing weight, and a metallic taste in your mouth when you wake up? Are there better signals?

metallic taste can't be a good sign?

The metallic taste signifies that your body has entered ketosis. There isnt anything bad about it.

I think it just has to do with the different electrolyte balance the body maintains while in ketosis.

I don't know. I had just been relying on what I've heard about timing.
The taste thing is interesting. I'll pay more attention to that. There's a taste difference I've noticed with dry fasting that might be the same thing.

Its the most noticeable when you wake up. I think it is different for each person, but the more you trigger your body, the easier it will be able to go into that state.
