dark urine

Good thing this is anonymous...
Since I've started the 19-hr daily fasts I've noticed very yellow urine, even when I drink quite a bit more water than I'm thirsty for. I suppose it could be a detox symptom. Has anyone else noticed this?
Thanks for any replies.

  1. I notice that when I don't drink enough or take vitamins. I've heard it can be a sign of dehydration, so maybe try to up your water intake.

  2. Paula,
    Thank you for the note. I'm quite athletic and pretty attentive to signs of dehydration -- usually I up my water intake and the urine problem resolves itself within a few hours. Since I've been fasting though, the color stays dark even when I drink really large amounts. (I drink water and perhaps one tea per day. No soda.)
    Perhaps it's a vitamin issue.
    I have never taken vitamin supplements. What do you take, if I may ask?
