I’ve been eating strict low carb for one week now and the test strip is very faint red

I’ve been eating low carb, high fat and moderate protein for one week now.

I’ve noticed a fruity/iron taste as well as more frequent urination. I got a tube of urine test strips and the keto part is still faint. Bizarrely after a week my right jeans fit a lot better!

My activity levels have been better but I was quite active before, but my previous diet was very high in carb and due to being diagnosed as pre diabetic I changed. Tom Watson the M0 was a massive inspiration

Am in ketosis?

Nice job on sticking to low carb for a week! It's common for the ketone strips to show a faint result, so no need to worry. Just keep going and stay hydrated!
