Just buy strips and check yourself. You might need much less time

There are tester strips for detecting presence of ketones in urine, originally intended for type I diabetes I think.

You can buy ketone strips that will indicate whether you are experiencing ketosis. They react to your urine.

Holy shit, I had no idea this was a thing. This is awesome. I am totally buying this.

Where can I learn the science of ketosis. So I can be more data driven regarding my health.
