Most people don't show "large" levels unless they are severely dehydrated, have just started a ketogenic diet, or are taking (but not utilizing) high levels of exogenous ketones.
And you are correct, if you are dumping large amounts of ketones into urine, you are probably not yet adapted to using ketones & fat instead of glucose for energy.
I've never recorded more than "trace" levels myself, and even bought a second batch of ketostix thinking the first batch might have been too old, but haven't bothered trying them again in the past 17 yrs, since I can just go by what I'm eating and how I'm feeling - full of energy and sharp as a tack with money left to buy better food instead of stix.
