10 Signs of Ketosis
Ketosis Sign #10: Thirst
Thirst is usually a sign of dehydration. Many of the ketosis signs are similar to dehydration. When the body is no longer storing energy in glucose, the person begins to feel thirsty. When a person consumes minimal carbohydrates in combination with a low sodium diet, there tends to be an electrolyte imbalance due to the amount of fluids being lost as well. Dehydration may start to occur since glycogen stores are being emptied.
As mentioned before, excessive thirst along with bad breath and dry mouth can occur. It is important to adjust the intake of fluids for the number of nutrients needed in the body. It is important that during ketosis, electrolyte balance is met.
