i've been doing the atkins for about three weeks and am going to be drug tested in a week .now I know ketosis burns uses fat as energy instead of glucose, but my question is will the ketosis show a false positive, like ketoacidosis. if it does, im guessing i should stop the diet pretty soon.

thanks

Since this is a new thread I don't have any idea your smoking history or if you have taken a home test. If not. Take a home test with your first piss of the day and take the guess work out of it.

You should take a vacation from the diet a few days before the test. For those days, pig out and go into fat-storing rather than fat-burning mode to reduce the release of THC metabolites from fat storage. During that time, whatever THC metabolites are in your bloodstream will be eliminated in urine.

about a week before starting the diet i smoked about 2 grams in total, and before that i was clean for three weeks, coming off of smoking maybe twice a month if that helps.

You smoked 2 grams 4 weeks ago and before that you only smoked twice a month? Home test yourself, you may be clean already. Test with the first part of your first void for the worst case scenario.

Let's say you're clean, even if the diet caused a false postive (which I'd have to know more about that to believe), a lab test would be able to determine that it's not THC which caused the positive.
