    Urine a funny color...?

    This is day 5 for me on Atkins. I've been doing very well--have not cheated at all, most cravings are gone, and i very rarely feel hungry. I'm drinking at least 140 ounces of water a day and i take a multi vitamin every morning, i excersise quite a bit and i feel great..But i've noticed than my urine has taken on an almost neon yellow color..Has anyone else experienced this?? Any possible answers or suggestion would be very well appreciated, as im a bit worried...
    I have been letting myself have crystal light lemonade a couple times a day... Can i do that on induction?? Has no carbs, no sugar, no nothing just 5 cals...???
    THANKS!!!

    Thats your vitamins. No worries.

    You can have the crystal light in addition to your water. Sounds like you are okay since you are getting 140 oz. Just keep in mind that *some* people have problems with aspartame stalling them. If you find that your loss isn't as much as you think it should be (within reason) then you might want to cut out the crystal light, though it probably won't be a problem. The other thing about the artificially sweetened drinks is that the sweet taste alone might cause you to start craving...just keep a close eye on it.

      It's the excess "B vitamins" to be exact. The only time I get this is when I take a high B vitamin.

            If you think that's weird, eat a cup of raw asparagus! Your pee will smell strange, but it's perfectly healthy. Supplements do change my pee color, too, as do certain foods if I eat a lot like carrots (not now, though - I don't eat 'em)

              Do you notice this to be mostly occurring first thing in the morning (when urine is always the most odorously-pungent!)? If this continues and bothers you, I would ask your doctor.
