Hi Brad ,
Are you taking lots of vitamin c ? sounds like you are drinking plenty ....might be worth having a chat with a professional. I hope that your weight loss is going well xx

Drink more. 2 litres might not be enough for you, it wasn't for me. Get your GP to test your renal function that will tell you if you need more fluid

Is that a sign of ketosis? Maybe if you are not eating much sugar and carbs in general, it could be the same effect on your urine as if you were on the Atkins diet
Definately more water would be what I would try too

Hi honey.

Not a sign of ketosis as a ketotic state would present itself even when wee is pale and the subject is highly hydrated.

I agree with Karlos ... just a case of drinking more ... 2 litres is really a minimum rarely achieved by the majority (me included). Don't go overboard as that's dangerous too... but just drink more especially if exercising in fact crucial if exercising.

Ah thanks CC, just trying to muddle through what it might be! x
