I imagine he is probably speaking of keto test strips you can buy at any drug store. These are in fact not an indication if this is the product. Checks proteins in the urine.
All of a sudden I am starting to notice some weight loss. After about 2 and half months of busting my balls and not moving more than a pound or two on the scale, this past week I dropped 5 pounds. Not much has changed with my routine, though I did change the eliptical trainer from the Lifefitness one to the Arc Trainer. Also, put a little more meat and veggies in the diet, but not an excessive amount.
So, what do you think happened?

Lots of urination? When I do meat and veggies, I start peeing like crazy within 36 hours. This tells me the hcange is working. Fat burning is next.
I am kind of in a simular boat--Two years ago I pledged to loose about 20 pounds of middle age pudge before my 40th b-day this past Nov 24th. So I started back rowing, seriously gave up all white carbs, cut way back on alcohol- (that was ruff) and I trained first thing in the morning BEFORE breakfast for about an hour 4 days per week. And removed a great deal of stress from my life...
Emiediatly after training I would have cup of whole oats and 4 ozs of lean protien-mostly egg whites or chicken breast. The whole program worked great- I lost the fat. Now I'm on a lean muscle building program. My weight has changed little but my appearance is remarkable. Let the mirror, and true friends feedback be your only scales
BUT you can not do lots of cardio AND bulk up. Just like you MUST NOT starve to loose fat. During times of stress- running and starving are stressful- the body eats the tissue that is most expensive to maintain (muscle) and saves the fat stores as a last resort. Thats why fad diets don't work and obese people only loose water and muscle during crazy diet programs.
Just be very realistic- most things in moderation- and make minor corrections- and wait for the results. Even too much sex will give you a rash.....

Yes.
In fact, a nice 4-5 day full body split with lots of lean animal meats, eggs and lots of veggies will really work for you.

Damn to be 17 again and know what I know now....Dude you are still growing so be very careful about the junk you put in you system. especially alcohol. the body will process alcohol before in gets around to processing the good stuff.
Eat lots of lean protein, (fish, egg whites, beef, pork, venison) mixed with fresh veggies. Then add carbs as the last element. the ratio should be something like 2 parts protein, 2 parts veggies, 1 part carb. (whole grain carbs) no white stuff, no white sugar, no pasta, no white bread, ONLY whole grains. Old fashioned oats are great. They take 1 min in the microwave and you can mix them with all sorts of stuff.
Eat six times a day. I try to keep my calorie intake per mini-meal at just enough to keep me satisfied till the next mini meal. thats about 350-400. calories per mini- six times a day. or about 2100-2400 cal. total. But I am currently on a cutting up phaze and I am training real efficiently with a trainer. If you are bulking you need to train heavy and eat around 3000+ cals. I eat not longer than 2 hours before I train and very less than an hour before. Blood/energy goes to the digestive system to process food. You will need that energy to train. So wait two hours after your last mini-meal. You should be hangry as hell after training. Get some protein and carbs in your system emeidiaty afterwards or the body will start to eat the muscles you gained last week!!!! Eat emediatly after training!!!!!! Within 30 minutes. Even if its a cheese burger....I prefere something better. Smoothies are fun if they are low in sugar. Protein bar work too and they fit in your gym bag.
Ive been on a anti-oxident broad range vitamin / mineral kick for many years- I'm 40 and look like I'm 30. The major ones are vitamin C, Vitamin E, Omega-oils, glutamine, the Flavinoids in chocolate and dark fruits like grapes, berries, and pecans/almonds/walnuts. ALL these things can be obtained by eating REAL food. The menu possibilities and endless so you don't have to eat the same old boring body builders diet of dry assed chicken and brown rice. Mix it up have a little fun.......PEACE--- no really....be at peace with yourself and the world...it helps your body do the things it has evolved to do.
