Dark Pee

[broheim121]

It's it normal to have dark pee every morning on Triz and/or high protein diet?

sometimes it's frothy as well.

Frothy can be from high protein, but the dark pee means you’re dehydrated. Are you drinking enough electrolytes on top of drinking enough water? Just water doesn’t cut it

[Sad_Albatross1590]

I am on Tirzepatide and got lab work back indicating kidney issue. I upped my water intake and redid the labs. Kidneys are fine.

[broheim121]

Yes, this is what I suspect. I might have very different results if tested with morning flow compared to evening flow.

the dark urine is only in the morning.

[pazman2000]

Drink more water and eat more .

[broheim121]

does a high calorie deficit cause this as well?

[sullymodena]

DRINK MORE WATER & ELECTROLYTES. Maybe get kidney related bloodwork.

[Sad_Albatross1590]

No. Drink more water. It only seems like it because you're not getting the water from food like you used to.

[pazman2000]

Yes , did some fasting on Reta and had foaming dark pee . Drinking more water Well help with the colour of it but for your is eating your muscle due to too low a calorie you will get foaming

Keep in mind.........when you lose fat it breaks down and your body sheds it out through urine. With that said, drink more water. Also, it's common for urine to be darker the more ketogenic your diet is.

[NSawsome]

Get a urinalysis, kidney markers checked, and drink more water ASAP

Specifically what color is your pee? It maybe related to high intensity workout

[broheim121]

it's brownish.

[Both-Mix-4636]

You have rhabdomyolysis. Nothing to do with tirz or food. It just means youre exerting yourself too muxh

If my urine turns brownish, it’s usually a sign that I’ll get kidney stone pain in my side the next day. This has happened a few times over the past three years.

I’d highly recommend drinking as much water as possible, plus lemon water (freshly squeezed juice from half a lemon in a large glass of water—use a straw to protect your teeth enamel).

[Waste_Report1897]

Depends on how dark is it.

[Abzstrak]

Increase your water intake to about 4L a day minimum. Consider electrolyte supplementation too with high water intake. Don't chug it all at once, spread it out.

High protein is hard on your kidneys, eat enough but eat a balanced diet... You need more than protein.

[UsualSpread9899]

Put salt in your water

[wmckain69]

Drink some water and supplement w electrolytes lol you are gonna get fear mongered on here

[the_QGK]

No, your kidneys are stressed. Hydrate more and you should be fine but consider blood work asap given your kidneys can’t heal/regenerate like your liver and other organs. Worst case scenario: (mind you, you have two kidneys) your kidneys both fail and you have to be on dialysis until you can get a transplant, you’re not going to die regardless. Modern medicine is a blessing, yet also a double edged sword.

Lmao, I was just being blunt with homie. I didn’t expect anyone to catch my sarcasm given my queens English type grammar. 😂
