Weight: 235 lbs. The one pound loss today is probably mostly due to water and glycogen loss from yesterday. There may be a little fat loss.
For the body to burn fat the body must produce chemicals to convert the fat into energy. When this happens ketones are present in the blood. The ketones are excreted in urine. You can measure these ketones with test strips. When wet with urine, these strips will turn various shades of color. You match the color of the strips to a scale on the bottle to determine how much ketone is in the blood. The only way to lose fat is to burn it. If you are burning fat for energy you will have some ketones in the blood - no way around that fact. I know several people who think ketosis, which is the condition of having ketones in the blood, is a bad thing. They are confusing this with ketoacidosis which is a condition that develops in some people with Type 1 diabetes. That condition is bad for the kidneys. The confusion of ketosis with ketoacidosis is one of the reasons some misinformed people think low carbohydrate diets are bad for you.
