Did you measure ketone levels in any way?

Your symptoms is very common during the ketosis adaptation phase which shouldn't last more than two weeks at most.

If they persist any longer than that you are probably not in ketosis.

The best way to measure ketone levels are through blood ketones (beta-hydroxybutyrate) with a blood tester such as the precision extra or similar.

There are some breath analyzers such as the ketonix that measures acetone levels in your breath - and they are alos pretty good.

Urine sticks don't generally don't work very well after the first month.
