Your takeaway point is this: If you stay on your keto diet for long
enough, the primary
ketone circulating
in your serum (and consequentially, present
in your
urine) is not detected by your ketostix.
If you are sticking long
enough to a ketogenic diet the production of the different types of keton bodies will change: the serum and
urine volume of acetoacetate (the only
ketone detected by ketostix) is significantly reduced, according to Phinney and Volek, you will have more Hydroxybutyrate
in your serum - and thereby
in your
urine.
Yep, you basically piddle on these things and if you have
enough ketones dissolved
in your
urine, the stick will turn a different color.
