can you SEE ketones in your pee?

Don't mean to gross anybody out... But do you think the stuff (looks like a little bit of gasoline or oil) floating on your pee in the toilet could be ketones???

I asked not too long ago if anybody else had this... I'm just wondering what it is... Is it fat?

that's what I mean

sometimes (almost everytime) it looks like there is FAT floating (not much) on the top of the water. I thought maybe those were ketones.

I'm going to go with- IT'S FAT

That's my story and I'm sticking with it!

Yep, I get the oil slicks too and strangely only when I'm in ketosis and losing. When I'm not, it's not there.
