In Ketosis, but I didn't intend to be...

Just to help all those folks that believe the OP is able to see ketones in her urine, I have posted a visual comparison of ketosis urine and non-ketosis urine:

One is darker

Looks fine on mine... and I do photo editing.

Hell hath no fury like the calorie deficient.

Clearly, you should have taken a picture of a toilet bowl with urine in it, and then squirted some cooking oil, taken a picture of that and then done the side-by-side. This was too complicated for some.

I can't stop laughing, I'm in for the par-tay!!!!! Yeah, have you seen a doctor?:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

How this didn't turn into a Doctor Who thread sooner is beyond me.

Okay, okay. I'm going to have to sit down and watch Dr. Who since everybody makes references to it. I'm on no-man's-island not having watched it.

Yes. Watch it. WATCH IT. NOW!!!!

Just rub it in, why don't cha? I'll be watching it now.

Rubs it in....

Sulks...

Not really sure I should be answering as you've not been that pleasant to people who've given you advice already.

Ketones can be present in your urine if you've not had carbs for a good few hours. I'd still say 30% carbs constitutes low-carb though

You can't actually see ketones btw.

Not what you want to hear but if you are in ketosis and don't want to be - eat some carbs. If you've done that and are still in ketosis and don't want to be - see a doctor (or spend more time on the internet, whatever.)

Honey, it's supposed to be. And, why so serious, love?

I love when people think they need to restrict carbs to such a low level to lose weight. I eat like 200-300g carbs a day and I'm 69lbs down

oh and Op... go to a doctor WHILE eating carbs.. Oh yeah I said it.

I haven't read the thread, but has anyone brought up the idea that maybe the OP should see a doctor if she's peeing oil?

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.

...Rude.

Really!?!? That picture helps me make so much more sense of it now!

Glad I could help! :happy:

Oh, thank you!


Too bad the bar graph was too simply simplified for some.

Are you currently on any medication that could have caused a change in the urine?

Have you had any significant weight loss since you started noticing these symptoms?

The most common cause of oily urine is ketones in urine. These appear in individuals with uncontrolled diabetes and also during periods of starvation or a stringent dietary regimen.

Presence of oily substance in urine along with orangish or dark yellow-colored urine can be attributed to biliary disease or jaundice.

You will need to increase your intake of water and intake a minimum of 2000 ml per day.
Avoid caffeine and alcohol.

Also ... hows your gallbladder?

All roads should have lead OP back to bed...

Though perhaps I missed a scenario.
