          I don't know if it's technically normal, but mine was greenish at the beginning of induction, before I started drinking "gallons" of water every day.
          No stats. Not weighing anymore ever. Will post "before and after" pictures when I want to. The end.

          Vigilance, not perfection.

                  Ah, I always notice the same greenish-tint if the ketosis-thing is happening. Drinking more water only changes the overall shade from darker to lighter. I consider it a very good thing... because, as I said, in my experience it is related to ketosis.

                  (I usually take vita's as I should, but not always. And, my stomach simply can't handle vita's in the morning. So I know it's not them.) (Also, since my preferred multi contains beta-carotene, a while after I take it the bowl-water water actually turns quite orangy!)

                    I don't look at my pee. Should I be looking at my pee?
