Re: Urine question? Sorry...don't mean to be gross!

hahaha, I'm sorry but now I am picturing people playing in the toilet with little fat globs and can't stop chuckling. I knew I was in ketosis because my energy came back up after being lethargic for the first few days of induction. Also, my appetite was under control. After the initial induction I wouldn't care if I'm in ketosis or not since the weight is still coming off and I haven't cheated. You burn ketones so if you exercise enough there may not be enough left over for your pee anyway. That said, I drink too much water and take too many vitamins to notice anything beyond diluted vitamin pee in my toilet.

I've always wondered if the stix can tell the difference between metabolized body fat and metabolized dietary fat.

If I eat a really high fat dinner, say ribeye and avocado, the stix seem to be much darker in the morning than if I eat grilled chicken and steamed broccoli.
So can the stix differentiate between burned body fat and burned dietary fat?

Nah, we burn more fat when we eat more fat. So if you eat more fat and you body burned more fat and makes more ketones you'll pee more out. It's like priming the pump and one way a lot of people treat stalls.

I would definately see a Dr. about that if it continues, I don't think there should be ANYTHING solid or 'squishy' coming out in urine at all (someone correct me if I'm wrong...)

That makes me think of some sort of UTI

This confuses me...my first time around I was working out hardcore (and loved it)...and the harder I worked out...the DARKER the sticks would get for me. Now I'm confused. I thought Atkins explained that keytones were a by-product AFTER fat had been burned for energy. With THIS theory, it made sense that the harder I worked out, the darker the sticks would get.
