I noticed I had foamy urine last night and this morning. I looked it up on google and some diseases that had it related the foamy urine to high amounts of protein in the urine. I havn't been drinking 64 oz of water a day, but I have been drinking at least 55oz of liquid (water and diet soda) a day. I had no idea that it could be this dangerous. I wish I wasn't so busy all the time. I am always in my car and my car is a stick shift sports car so I can't really have any drinks when I am driving so it's pretty hard to get what I need. And even if I could have drinks in the car, I doubt I would because I hate driving and having to the bathroom all the time. Any tips?

I doubt there's any tip to be given except for..

DRINK your WATER!..

stop for a pee here and there while driving and in return you wont be peeing protein shakes

I just urinated again and it was still foamy but it was clear. I also had large ketones. I am scared to have such high ketones when the urine is completely clear except for foam. I am also too scared to eat any protein for breakfast. So I ate a large banana (27 carbs) to knock me out or at least lower my ketosis and so I won't have to eat protein for breakfast. I know it is a very small breakfast but I don't really have much to eat that isn't protein. I also wanna save room for lots of water. I drank about 40oz so far this morning and I feel like I wanna puke >_<.

I would go to the Dr and ask for advice, it could be something completely different than what you found on the internet. Self diagnosis is ok, but you might be mistaken.

I will if it doesn't stop in a few days.

I experienced that once when I first started working out with a personal trainer. I trained really hard w/weights and I thought that somehow that it was from some kind of acid buildup???

I tried doing searches too at the time, but it went away after a week. Still don't know exactly what it was, but I just drank my water and it subsided.

Beware: Diet Pop is just packed with sodium, so any water you are drinking in combination with it, is useless as far as your body benefitting from it...

cut down on the pop!

That soft drinks have a lot of sodium is a common misconception.

Impecca I would suggest you see your physician immediately. Think of the kidneys as a filter, in order for protein to go through the holes in the filter are enlarging. My friends get this from the autoimmune condition they have which attacks and will destroy their kidneys. With them they start blowing up because the kidneys clog and stop working.

I'm hoping your just having funky fatloss urine but I would get it checked out asap to be sure.

make sure no-body's putting something new in the toilet tank to keep the bowl clean.

I urinated in a plastic cup to be sure and it was still foamy, not nearly as much now that I drank a bunch of water this morning. I would have went to the doctors today but I don't have medical insurance. Like I said above, if it hasn't cleared up in a few days I'll have to pay my way.

Well, la di da!

Either way, the bulk of daily intake SHOULD be water, not carbonated drinks.....

And personally, I notice I bloat up and fart like a Howitzer after too many Diet Pepsis...but that's just me I guess!

Ok out of fear for my kidneys. I had 85 carbs today to try and knock me out of ketosis becasuse I remember reading somewhere that ketosis can be strainful on your kidneys and thats the last thing I want with foamy urine. I also drank like a gallon and a half of water today. I just tested my urine for ketones and I still have large ketones. (80 on the chart). Normally a cup of strawberries would knock me out of ketosis.

Today I had 3 bananas (75 carbs at least) and some guacamole for a couple hamburger patties. Any ideas of what's going on and why I wasn't knocked out of ketosis? I also just wieghed in at night after eating all that I have and drinking way more than usual and it shows me at 215... Thats the weight I normally have in the morning. I am worried that I might have lost 5 pounds in one day since I don't think that is very healthy now that I am nearing goal.

Do you really have to pay just to see a local Dr in the USA??

And I hadn't heard that ketone bodies harm your kidneys, I thought it was only the 'brain food' that changed.

For me it takes at least overnight to two days to knock me out of ketosis. How much time have you allowed? Maybe you've got some diabetic tendencies, it's definitely advisable to visit a health practitioner and get an educated opinion. I look forward to hearing what the Doc says.

You have to pay every time you go see any type of doctor for any reason in the US. Even with insurance, I have to pay $20-30 each time I go see a dr.
