Ketosis without starving??

carbar90

Hi guys, I'm hoping someone can help me out with this problem I'm having.

I am a biology major and for one of my physiology experiments we did an electrolyte urinalysis + blood glucose test.. Long story short my blood glucose levels were normal, but my urine analysis showed that my body was in Ketosis.

I am not on a low carb diet, my diary should be open to everyone. I'm 5'1, 158 pounds, 22 years old. I currently eat 1400-1600 calories on rest days, and more on workout days (although my diary isn't completely up to date - forgot to log some food on certain days and exercise). I don't feel starving, in fact I feel like I'm eating too much sometimes.

My professor said that since my blood glucose is fine I don't have to worry about diabetes.. but I'd like to know what's going on in my body and if anyone has any suggestions? I'm booking a doctors appt for next week too

That could just have been you were late for lunch when you did it. Or fresh from exercise. Or didn't have much carbs that day before the testing.
