This means it's working right? I haven't bought ketostix or anything yet but I heard that it will look like you're literally peeing fatty waste. T/F?

Filmy pee is up to interpretation. If you are looking for visual confirmation, I suggest you get some stixs. I use them, though many advocate that they are not reliable, as I like to see a confirmation and I think for newbies they hit that mark.
Best guide is how you are feeling and accurate tracking of food.
Good luck.0 -
And your pee will smell different too. But if you can get the sticks that is your best bet to know for sure.0

The best confirmation is a glucose meter that also tests for ketones in the blood.0

My pee is always oily when I am in ketosis, and not when I am not.0

"...Changes in urine
Ketosis not only changes your breath but your urine, too; it will start developing a filmy consistency and smell like its been distilled from dinosaur sweat.
The potent smell change will be the most obvious..."

I have been eating a ketogenic diet for awhile now. I have never had filmy pee. Actually, my urine is quite clear with no odor at all. I don't think everyone experiences the same effects.0
