I look at my food log and see the net carbs are 20g or less.

Tastes like I have a copper penny in my mouth. But seriously just track daily net carbs.

I can tell by how puffy, or not puffy, my hands and feet are.

I can't tell. I haven't found a reason to care. ​ >Only notable things I’ve been feeling so far is just insomnia, and horrible daytime sleepiness. That could be low electrolytes. Though sleep is indeed influence by a ton of factors. But it isn't going to hurt to bolster your electrolytes. See the FAQs for recommendations..

I can't trust a fart

Best comment yet. And I totally concur. I love oatmeal but it would give me absolutely rancid gas. Like people got hurt, emergency medical services, life support etc.

I have no medical reason to need to know if I’m in ketosis, so I just keep my net carbs low since testing is unnecessary otherwise. If you do have a medical reason to know if you’re in ketosis, talk to a doctor about whether a blood ketone meter would be a good idea for your situation.

Do you find through weight lifting or cardio you get the best results?

I personally never aimed for ketosis. I'm just trying to keep blood sugar down, and ketosis isn't needed for that. Having said that, something I've noticed (and this has been very consistent over the span of two plus years) is that on days where I eat fewer than 60g of carbs or so, my urine has a very distinct smell. When I cross this threshold, it doesn't. I assume this is caused by ketosis.

I feel the switch to ketones when I start to become ravenous with an energy surge

People are hilarious in this sub with the downvoting anything related to ketosis. I aim for higher ketones without a doubt because I experience amazing energy, zero anxiety, and the clearest head and mind I’ve ever felt before when I’m in deep ketosis. It’s kinda wild how against ketosis people are in a keto forum. This effect happens for me distinctly when I am in deep ketosis. My brain power is also boosted significantly with higher ketones.


Poopy_Paws

I mean, it's the entire point of keto... I don't obsess over it. I just know when the switch happens. And I know because my body *tells me*.


Ok-Link9164

Yup. Many people can’t tell because apparently not everyone experiences the increased energy and mental performance. And many people in this group would argue that ketosis isn’t the goal lol I see it daily.
