A member asked:
Can starvation of one day lead to ketones 3+ in urine test? or it will needs long term starvation to lead to this result??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could: You could have ketones in urine with starving for one day, if your prior carbohydrate intake was low. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
