Does SPS (Smelly Pee Syndrome) ever go away?

I'm a month into almost exclusive carnivory and my armpits don't smell rank any more. They don't yet smell like springtime flowers but Mina assures me that's coming.

My pee, though, smells pretty rank. Will that ever change? Is there an over-the-counter remedy or a prescription my doctor can give me to have my pee smell like springtime roses?

Thanks,
Sol

Maybe it's all the toxins in the pee. You're detoxing. With time, this could subside.

Sol, my pee tends to have an odor when I'm not drinking enough water.  It also has a color to it.  If I hydrate sufficiently, my pee is almost clear and has little to no smell.

I sometimes taste my urine and have noticed that at times it tastes salty, and other times it tastes bitter.  I know the salty taste comes from the sodium content, but am clueless as to what causes the bitter taste.  Regardless, if i drink a few glasses of water, by the end of the day it comes out clear, tasteless and odorless.  To me this means that my kidneys are done filtering out wastes and are just releasing extra water.

I have noticed that if I eat mutton/lamb meat and fat then my pee smells sweet. If I eat beef with lambs suet then it is not sweet; the suet has no sweet tast when I eat it and beef is very acid.

I don't understand what my body does with the water (alkaline ionized water) that I drink. I used to have to pee much more when I was eating carbs.

I drink water but some times I feel to full - perhaps this is normal on a meat and fat diet? If fat gives the body a lot of water, why the hell don't I need to pee very much?

Some don't drink much water but that does not seem right to me? Some say they get all the water from food...

I don't know how this works for people on a cooked meat and fat diet. Coffee and dairy on top of that would give a different picture again; all that needs to be detoxed as well.

Could be you're spilling ketones in your urine. I never got the rank breath that others get in ketosis, but my pee reeked. It goes away, thank god.

I have to say it's the first time I've seen that comment.  LOL

my understanding is that it would most likely be overdoing protein and not necessarily ketosis. im willing to say i might be wrong on this point because I know you were eating some greens and sea plants.

and, yes, dehydration will definitely do this and give your breath a rank smell too.

ok im leaving  LOL   I get  Oops easily

HTH, sol!

If I'm on a bus and someone starts tasting their urine, I'll just get out and walk.

its a real cheap way to test yourself for diabetes I guess...
AlexF

I do it all in the name of science LOL
Sol

Ok, it looks like I've got some experimenting to do.

My first guess is too much protein. I'll try doing high fat, low protein for a day or two and see what I notice.

My guess is that dehydration is not the cause.

Alex - If I send you some of my pee can you tell, in the name of science, if I'm consuming too much protein? LOL

Shock Mina, STOP reading this! Shock

That was a warning, Mina! You won't get another. LOL

I once heard about a guy who would drink his first morning urine every morning! Shock No lie. I guess he thought this was some way to stay healthy or something. Dunno

Mina, I warned you! You curious Tiger, you! Wink  Heart

Someone tell Dan to get back on the Bus! Roll Eyes  LOL
~mina~

when someone tells me not to do something.. I usually end up doing it..

Shock  

there is an old wives tales around where I live that you should put it in your ear to cure earaches..  Shock

thanks for thinking of me, Dean, but I really think you knew I would read it anyways  Wink

Well, in that case, why don't you head to the back of the Bus, and I'll tell you not to do a whole bunch of things! Devil

Water has always fascinated me, here's a good explanation of the role of h2o in the body.  From:  http://www.biologymad.com/

Sol, is your urine cloudy?  This can be a sign of excess unused protein in your diet.  I've been reading alot about about proteins lately and I'm coming to the conclusion that we really don't need much.  Fat on the other hand....my research says "bring it on!"

Blood Water Homeostasis (Osmoregulation)  

The water potential of the blood must be regulated to prevent loss or gain of water from cells. Blood water homeostasis is controlled by the hypothalamus. It contains osmosreceptor cells, which can detect changes in the water potential of the blood passing through the brain. In response, the hypothalamus controls the sensation of thirst, and it also secretes the hormone ADH (antidiuretic hormone). ADH is stored in the pituitary gland, and its target cells are the endothelial cells of the collecting ducts of the kidney nephrons. These cells are unusual in that water molecules can only cross their membranes via water channels called aquaporins, rather than through the lipid bilayer. ADH causes these water channels to open. The effects of ADH are shown in this diagram:





Excretion and Homeostasis

Excretion means the removal of waste products from cells. There are five important excretory organs in humans:

   *

     Skin
excretes sweat, containing water, ions and urea

   

    Lungs
excrete carbon dioxide and water



    Liver
excretes bile, containing bile pigments, cholesterol and mineral ions

   

    Gut
excretes mucosa cells, water and bile in faeces. (The bulk of faeces comprises plant fibre and bacterial cells, which have never been absorbed into the body, so are not excreted but egested.)

   

    Kidneys
excrete urine, containing urea, mineral ions, water and other “foreign” chemicals from the blood.

This section is mainly concerned with the excretion of nitrogenous waste as urea. The body cannot store protein in the way it can store carbohydrate and fat, so it cannot keep excess amino acids. The “carbon skeleton” of the amino acids can be used in respiration, but the nitrogenous amino group must be excreted.

That's basically what Bear said.

I have to agree. I think excess protein is not a good thing. Animal fat is where it's at. Cool

Mina......do NOT follow me to the back of the Bus.  And whatever you do, please don't wear back leather boots or bring a whip.  I'm begging you.....DON'T!!!

Yup, it was the protein. Today, I ate just 4 ounces of protein foods per meal and, voila, no more stinky pee. I want to experiment though to see if my body pees differently, smell-wise, depending on the kind of protein source.

Now, I've gotta embrace animal fats because I eat fairly lean grass-fed meats. Today I added lots of butter to everything. Once the contest is over I'm going to use coconut oil as well. I've got a big stash of animal fats that I suppose I could cook with instead of butter.
