Correlation of acetone buildup on starvation day (Day 6) after diet C (on Day 5) with different physiological parameters. (A) Exponentially decaying correlation of acetone buildup with BMI (R² = 0.46), (B) Exponentially decaying correlation of acetone buildup with Body Fat % (R² = 0.71), and (C) Exponentially increasing correlation of acetone buildup with TEE (TEE = PAL × REE, for more details see experimental section) (R² = 0.92 for n = 9). Two subjects with lowest BMI (marked in circles) did not follow the trend likely due to non-compliance of energy balanced diet on Day 5 of the diet.
