Ketones with non-ketogenic diet?
I know you have ketones in your urine if your in ketosis on a ketogenice diet. I know that ketones is biproducts of burning fat, like ashes is to wood.
I am not on a ketogenic diet. I eat 30 carbs a day and 2 days a week(not together), I up my carbs to 100.
Wed. was a carb up day, Thur. was lower carb day. Late Thursday night, I checked my ketones and the stick was purple. I have been excercising, on my carb up day, I strength train and the other days, I do cardio.
This morning, the stick was purple again.
Is it possible that ketones are expelled when loosing fat, no-matter the diet? Or, am I in ketosis even though I'm eating more carbs?
By the way, all weekend, I ate carbs freely.
If you want to see what I've been eating, look into my journal. I started putting it all in on Monday.
All ideas are welcome Thanks
