I know you have internet because you posted this thread on the INTERNET--I would probably see a doctor
You would be amazed at the kind of things people post... -.-'0 -
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.
Edit to add you may have a UTI if you see something in your urine. Go see a Dr, maybe your OBGYN?!?0 -
Eat more carbs.
So there. Now I'm waiting to be booted from the thread... I've never seen it done before, I'm sure it's going to be a neat trick!

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?0 -

no, no uti. or anything. I thought I made it pretty clear that I'm HEALTHY and aware of my body. It's ketones, 100% sure of it. I just want to know if 50% fat macros are enough to bump me into ketogenesis, since most people go, like, 90%.0 -

Just for kicks, can you humor us and explain if there is a particular reason you don't want to see a doctor and get some tests done to help you determine the cause? Or, if you're not concerned about health and just the fat macro, how about a nutritionist?
Also, gallbladder issues?0 -
The paleo diet is really close to the keto diet and instead of eating more carbs, try upping your proteins. To keep it simple, proteins can be synthesized for glucose. So, instead of burning ketones, you'll burn the glucose from the proteins. Hope this helps! My creds are that I'm a health field major with heavy neurological and microbiology/chemistry background.0

Yeah. *looks at the thread*0 -
you gave us the macro breakdown but haven't said what kind of quantities you're eating.
If you're eating 1200kals a day and doing exercise then you may well be depleting glycogen stores.
We need much more info from you with regards your diet and lifestyle to give a better answer
Hey, thanks for some constructive input. I'm at 1550 kcal/day give or take, with those macros I posted. I eat no grains, but healthy starches like sweet potatoes and root vegetables. Not much fruit, but I don't avoid it. I make sure to load up on glycogen after workouts (like sweet potato stew or arugula potato soup) to make sure I'm not low on glycogen. I'm trying to build muscle, so that would be the last thing I want!
You're not building muscle on 1550kcal/day. Those sound like deficit calories, not bulking ones. Also, you really should go see a doctor.0 -

Except you can't see it so.....
And it could be a few things...which is why you should go see a doctor.0 -
Yeah, so I'm going to give you some popular advice: See a doctor.
Ketones, even when present in urine, aren't supposed to be visible. Trace amounts of ketones set off urine tests, if it's actually at the point that it's visible you're either a special snowflake who is a) dying or b) it's actually protein you're seeing from serious kidney problems.
While you're assuming the substance in your urine is ketones, you're literally just assuming it. You don't have a medical degree, you don't know what you're talking about, and now is the time to refer to someone who actually does, not the internet.
You very likely could have a serious medical condition or something basic, like a UTI you can blah blah blah about knowing your body all you want, but the reality is that if people with cancer can go years without knowing while it wrecks havoc on their internal organs, you probably aren't wonder woman and could have something going on as well.
Buck up, pay the money (if you're in a country without free health care) and get better.0 -
Go buy some urine strips. I'm currently in ketosis, and have been for about a month minus a couple odd days.
Get some test strips, cause I certainly cannot see see ketones in my urine.0 -
You want answers from fat people who are trying to lose weight. If we had the answers we wouldn't be fat. Our answers are.....see a Doctor.0

I just want to point out that ketones are water soluble, so I don't see how they would be visible.
If you're worried about it, see a doctor and have some tests run. But don't expect us to be able to tell you what is in your urine.
Did you taste it?0 -
