Meaghan...

Ketosis (as explained to me) is when your body begins using its stored fat for energy; thus actually using the fat for something...rather than just storing it.

Char was correct in saying that your ketone levels can be tested. There are numerous test strips (such as Ketostix) which, when placed in the urine stream, will show the level of ketones in the urine. You can buy these strips at most pharmacies and I do know that Wal-Mart sometimes carrys them as well.
