Urine test results may also show evidence of abnormally
high levels of ketone bodies — water - soluble compounds produced as a by - product of fatty acid metabolism in the liver and kidney.
It's a myth that
high levels of ketones lead to more fat loss and there is no proof that exogenous ketones will help you lose more weight.
It is thought that
high levels of ketones in the blood may increase the risk of ketoacidosis, a very serious condition that can occur in type 1 diabetics.
Diabetic ketoacidosis is a serious but treatable medical condition
where high levels of ketones are produced in the body and build up in the blood and urine.
Type 1 diabetics are dependent on insulin injections to manage their blood sugar and are at risk for ketoacidosis, which as a life - threatening condition where there is
dangerously high levels of ketones — much higher than a healthy person in ketosis can actually achieve — in their blood.
Further investigation revealed that restricting feeding time to 8 - 12 hours a day, resulted in mice that had less body fat, improved muscle mass, decreased inflammation, increased cardiovascular function, increased mitochondrial function,
higher levels of ketone body production, increased cellular repair processes and anti-oxidant production, and increased aerobic endurance.
That high level of Ketones is acidic, drops the pH, and that can put you into — into a coma via very low uhm — very low pH. Uh — Go ahead, I'll let you give yours --
During initiation of ketogenic therapy there is a risk of hypoglycaemia, acidosis, dehydration and
high levels of ketones (1).
Anecdotally,
higher levels of ketones may actually slow down fat loss.
One explanation may be
that high levels of ketones in the bloodstream may slightly raise insulin and block the release of free fatty acids from fat cells.
Apart from anecdotal claims, there is no scientific evidence that
high levels of ketones will guarantee enhanced fat loss.
The presence of
a high level of ketones also overworks the kidney which leads ti the creation of kidney stones.
In fact,
high level of ketones / low level of glucose are not the most important factors in weight loss.
I have read that if you have
a high level of Ketones in your system you can test positive on an Alcohol Breathalyzer Test.
There is no scientific evidence that

The suggestion that the «zero - carb» approach leads to
a higher level of ketones and enhanced fat loss is misleading - this is not how the ketogenic diet works.
Also, it's not accurate to say
that high levels of ketones will guarantee fat loss.
Science has shown that
a higher level of ketones flowing through your body has the possible benefits of improving: Mood, longer lasting energy, lowering blood pressure, reversing insulin resistance and cognitive enhancements.
High levels of ketones are desirable for therapeutic purposes rather than fat loss.
The suggestion that a «zero - carb» or a very low - carb approach (less than 20 grams of total carbs) leads to
a higher level of ketones and enhanced fat loss is misleading — this is not how the ketogenic diet works.
Note that this is not the same as diabetic ketoacidosis, which is characterized by
high levels of both ketones and sugar in the blood, particularly in patients with type 1 diabetes.
If it was to be used for therapeutic purposes,
high levels of ketones may be beneficial.
High levels of ketones can poison the body.
A dog with
a high level of ketones in his urine suffers from a condition known as ketonuria, usually resulting from a buildup of these substances in the dog's blood.
High levels of ketones, water - soluble compounds produced in the liver and kidney, will also show up.
