Today was a very different day, I actually felt “high” for a lack of a better word. It was a great feeling, not so much spacey but more aware. I don’t know if it is common. I also was more energetic than usual. I still have yet to enter ketosis on day 11 but I am strict on my diet. It faded when I ate dinner, I had the Ketoconnect pizza with egg, parmasean cheese and chicken crust.
Has anyone experienced this?

Sounds like ketosis to me. How do you know you have not entered ketosis?
It could just be the lack of sugar/carbs has shown you what it can feel like when you are not riding the insulin roller coaster, but it sounds like the mental clarity many of us experience when fasting/in deep nutritional ketosis.
When ketones are high, many of us find it easier to do mental tasks due to the clarity, I know for me they are easier, but I have to be careful as mistakes seem a little more common (when I’m coding or working in excel for example). Still, I’ll take the clarity over my old carb fueled brain funk anyday.
Welcome to keto!

I feel this way every now and then and I notice it more often when I do a couple tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in water with lemon, salt and a bit of stevia for some reason.

After seeing that this is a normal feeling in Keto, I did some research and found out your body actually produces a compound called BHB, which has similar effects to GHB, once known as Rest Easy but infamously known as the Date Rape Drug. But I am all in on the natural high, didn’t even have to put on running shoes
