    Are you taking vitamins???????? If so, that's the culprits. And even though you only drink water, how much are you drinking? You need a LOT on Atkins...64 oz plus more...some say 1/2 of your body weight in ounces.

      I agree with Valid, Vitamins are probably to blame, any type high B vitamin will turn urine a deep yellow color.

        I haven't taken vitamins yet (buying them on Friday.)


        I also drink about 96 ounces of water...

        142 ounces sounds excessive however.

          ahhh, maybe just upping your water by a cup or so may help out.

            It could be good old ketosis too. I wouldn't be worried unless its really dark yellow. Ketosis will cause it to have a stronger odor than usual too. And I don't know if I'm imagining it or not...but sometimes I swear I see fat in there! LOL I just always like to imagine that I'm flushing the fat off my body right down the toilet!

                Mine's darker in the morning. However, I think it should be. Otherwise, I'm guessing everyone is right...drink a little more - it can't hurt.

                  I drink 6 liters a day, and even still, about an hour or so after taking vitamins I have the same issue.
