Acetone urine

[evenflow]

Evening all,

Have noticed recently that after I exercise heavily (1.5 hours in the gym for example), my urine - whilst the correct straw like colour - absolutely reeks of nail polish remover (acetone). i think this is just a by product of burning fat during exercise, or am I going to die?

Thanks.

Sorry, straw was a bad example. It is very light yellow so def correctly hydrated, drink water all through workout

That's okay then

As to the smelly piss....not a clue

I go to the gym 6 days a week, lifting lots of olympic weights and cardio and I (ok home gym but better equipped than a lot of commercial ones )spend around an hour a time in there and you know what, nope, not ever does my piss smell like a photo processing lab.

You seriously need to drink more water.
