A member asked:
Can starving for 2 days and little hydration make you go into ketosis and make you have ketones in urine ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Ketosis simply reflects the bodies switch to converting fats as an energy source when the glycogen/glucose reserves are minimized. This reflects the waste product of converting these fats.
