Would a time restricted feeding type of intermittent fasting, with a 16/8 schedule, really result in the production of ketones? I thought that it would take about a day and a half or longer to exhaust carbs and start the switch to ketones. Then it’s only the longer fasts (like 5/2 days) that could help.
- collyw 7y agoIf you pee gets more yellow in that time period (I think) its indicative of ketosis. If anyone is more knowledgeable than me please chime in.
- p0sixlang 7y agoI.. don't think that's true at all. Ketones in your urine is indicative of ketosis. Smell of alcohol on breath is indicative of ketosis. Urine color is not an indicator for ketosis, it's an indicator for hydration.
- eatmyshorts 7y agoYou are correct. Urine color is an indicator of hydration. But sugar in your urine will cause your urine to be cloudy and more opaque. I've noticed that when I'm in ketosis that my urine is super transparent (just looking at transparency/opaqueness, not at color).
- tejohnso 7y agoI'm no expert, but from my vast knowledge gained through the internet[1], it seems that ketosis starts at around the 12 hour mark. But I think it would depend on how glucose saturated you already are.
