“Beyond the Basics: What Really Happens in Your Body During Ketosis?”
So you’ve started a keto diet, cut carbs, and maybe even seen some results. But do you know what’s actually happening inside your body as it shifts into ketosis? Let’s break it down beyond the “burning fat for fuel” cliché.
First, there’s the adaptation phase (days 1–3). Your body depletes stored glycogen, and you might feel sluggish or irritable—hello, “keto flu.” Next comes early ketosis (days 4–7), where your liver starts producing ketones, but levels are still low. By full ketosis (week 2 onward), your body becomes efficient at using ketones, and energy levels stabilize. But here’s the kicker: nutritional ketosis (0.5–3.0 mmol/L blood ketones) isn’t a one-size-fits-all zone. Factors like exercise, sleep, and even stress can push you in or out of ketosis daily!
Why does this matter? Many keto dieters assume they’re “in ketosis” based on guesswork—like reduced hunger or that metallic breath. But without measuring ketones, you’re flying blind. Traditional methods like finger-prick blood tests (painful and inconvenient) or urine strips (unreliable after adaptation) leave gaps.
That’s where SiBio’ Continuous Ketone Monitoring (CKM) sensor shines. Unlike sporadic checks, our 14-day wearable tracks ketones 24/7, showing real-time data on your phone. Whether you’re tweaking macros, experimenting with intermittent fasting, or just curious how that keto brownie affected you, the CKM sensor helps you see your metabolic state—no finger pricks, no guesswork.
