Do I Need to Test for Ketones?

In short, not really. Eating fewer than 50 grams of carbs per day is bound to put you into ketosis within a week or two. You can check for signs of ketosis like loss of appetite, weight loss, increased focus and energy, and a fruity breath.

But in case your curiosity is getting the best of you and you just need a sign that your body is making ketones, then try out ketone strips. You really have nothing to lose. Ketone strips are non-invasive, easy to use, cheap, and relatively accurate.

Make sure to test for ketones early in the morning or several hours after a meal. This will provide the most accurate results. Also, keep in mind that your hydration levels could affect your results. Researchers found that people with kidney problems may not get accurate results, so keep this handy fact in mind as well .

What test ketone in urine?

Reaction principle

The acetoactate and nitroprusside cause reaction in alkaline medium,which produces purplish red compounds.

What do my results mean after testing by ketone urine test strips?

You can measure ketones at any time of the day.However, ketone levels tend to vary,being highest in the morning and right after dinner.It is also best to avoid measuring your ketone levels right after exercise because the

numbers you would get then won't represent your mean ketone levels.Being dehydrated,over-hydrated,and taking certain medication(Mesna) can lead to inaccurate results,especially with urine ketone strips. 

While individual testing may vary, in general,results for ketone testing are labeled in the following way:
