    Just had a thought.... I know when I'm extremely dehydrated and have an infection I can see an "oily film" when I pee.
    This. You can't always tell you have an infection.


    Also, I love all of you. Today's morning workout consisted entirely of LOLz.

    OP...if you come to the MFP forums looking for medical advice (along with yahoo answers? Seriously, who goes there for anything?), you are going to be very disappointed, because we know nothing about you. WE would have no clue about what YOUR body is doing, because the interwebs are not so transparent and we can't analyze it. Although, based on your macros, it is very possible for you to be in ketosis if your carbs are from sources that provide a lot of fiber, as the ketogenic diet only counts carbs that come from sugary or starchy sources (as I understand it- correct me if I am wrong). Replace whatever carbs you are eating with ice cream, and see if you are still in ketosis. Other than that, I got nothing.

    Fibre relates a loooot to being in Ketosis. Also, some people can jump into slight ketosis with a higher amount of carbs than others (I've heard of some around 50 net carbs, and one extreme case was around 80 net).

    It hasn't. But the OP should definitely see a doctor!

    I didn't know that you can see ketones, I have used ketone test strips that are available at pharmacies when I was interested in that. Maybe you should try them instead. PS being obnoxious is not a good way to start a post asking for advice.

    Oh man, yall are bad.

    Ketones are visible oil bodies in the urine. You don't need to test for something you can see. But go ahead and take that pregnancy test for funsies.

    You can't see ketones in your pee, sorry.

    /he says to a chemist, lol
    I would rather not send a picture. But, there's oil floating around in my pee. If it's not ketones, what, pray tell, would they be?

    If you were that internet savvy you would have been able to do a quick search (like I just did) and see that you can not see ketones in your pee and that the only way to know for sure whether or not they are there is to do a test for it.

    Also -- go see a doctor.

    I feel like this thread is going to hit 10 pages, and the OP didn't intend for it to go for 10 pages.

    If she doesn't like it...

    ...she can just boot us from the thread.

    Looks like a giant pill bug or "rollypolly"! I ate one of those as a child, my mom was got the shell out of my mouth but not before I sucked all the protein out of it! Lol

    Bugs are a source of protein. Crickets and grasshoppers especially, from what I hear.

    That is exactly the kind of "input" that I explicitly said I don't need. I have the internet, I'm not stupid. READ before replying, thanks.
    Lol. I made it 3 post before hitting gold.

    I wonder how many people got the BOOT.






    ETA: Maybe someone already mentioned it, maybe, but you should see a doctor.














    Also, am I to late for the party? You know what I'm bringing.
