Gunner,

Congrats on your stinky pee. You are indeed in ketosis and the strong smell is a by-product of that. One way to cut down on some of the smell is by upping the water you are consuming. You should shoot for 1/2 your body weight in ounces.

I would also suggest drink more water. The rule of thumb here is drink 8 - 8 oz plus 8 oz for every 25 pounds you want to lose. It seems like a ton of water but your body adjusts quickly. Also, make sure you take your multi vitamin. If you notice neon yellow pee its generally the Vitamin B's that your taking.
Great question. Hope you are enjoying the board.

Beware, eating asparagus will give you stinky urine too.
