This is my experience too.  I think this has something to do with
caloric intake.  If I'm eating quite a lot of fat, I show deeper
ketosis, presumably because I'm making more ketones than I can
use, so more are spilling out in the urine, but at the same time
I'm storing some as body fat.  I'm burning fat, but it's not body
fat, and I'm storing fat at an even greater rate.  Fasting, my
ketosis is in the "trace" to "mild" range.
