hey guys had a question could you be in ketosis  with negative ketones on urine tough so you do  

the keto stick or the keto strip and it comes  out negative the question is could you still be  

in ketosis we’ll talk about that first you need  to know there are 3 different types of ketones  

acetate acetoacetate and beta-hydroxybutyrate  okay but the one to keep this specific ketone  

that’s tested only on urine test is acetoacetate  okay so it doesn’t really check these other ones  

right here so the problem is not the problem but  what happens over time as you key to adapt and you  

convert more from sugar burning to fat burning  you convert this one to this one right here  

beta-hydroxybutyrate so you’re converting more  of this less of this so it may not show up on a  

urine test all right because your body’s more  efficient because when you’re measuring ketones  

you’re just measuring the excess of ketones from  the urine okay it doesn’t really tell you what’s  

happening in the blood or other places this is the  excess that’s spilling over but when you’re using  

those in fuel and adapt it’s not going to show  up necessarily alright that’s one thing so if you  

wanted to check this you could get a blood test  the problem is it’s a bit expensive so yes you can  

actually show negative nothing shows up like zero  ketones but doesn’t necessarily mean you’re not  

in ketosis look for other factors are you losing  weight inches lost are you feeling good okay and  

if your carbohydrates are 20 grams per day net  carbs or less you’re going to be in ketosis okay  

but anyway I want to do a video not just to clear  up the confusion so let me know what you think put  

your comments down below hey guys the quick survey  question I want to know what topic you would like  

me to do a video on so each week I’m coming  up with different types of videos but I would  

rather have you tell me what you’re interested  in so I put a link down below please fill it out
