Adjusting to low carbs Diet

A week plus into my low carbs diet... my "carbo" cold turkey is gone, no longer have the dizziness, fatigue, dumbness. However, whether am into ketosis, I seriously have no clue to it.. Getting my keto sticks soon and got my ketone measuring device but I got no test strip nor lancer.. Gosh.. Trying to test ketones level in this asian country is so difficult, 1st, I can't get a ketostix from the pharmacy, and the only urine test kit I found multistix (from Guardian Plus), but its damn expensive. Got myself a blood ketone testing device, Optium Exceed but no test strip!

Anyway, apart from my adjustment in diet, I did alot of reading up on low carb diet. Came across this book "Living Low Carb" by Jonny Bowden, Its not so much on how to go about with the diet but talking more on the finding and theory behind it. I'll say 1st time in my life, I seriously READ BOOKs! Thanks to the dreams to pursue fitness!

I have yet to see much result from this diet but because of my workout regime, which involve mostly fast flow yoga, pilates, weight training and swimming, with the aids of sport supplement, I do see a firmer body. Anyway, I went on taking Amino Acid, glutamine, Casein Protein and Whey protein. I didn't get any lighter either, I do feel heavier but not feeling fat kind. Experience thirst every now and then, keep reminding myself on the water intake. Tomorrow will be my 1st cheat day, which is Chinese new year eve when we will have our reunion dinner feast, gonna strike in Carbo and back to low carbs the next day.
