Is it usual to pee a lot when you are losing weight?

A little more water, sorry but I have not a clue what creatine is. Is it found in food or is it a drink?

FFS! That's it! I've been trying to figure out why I keep getting dehydrated & having severe gout attacks & it's since shortly after I started on the creatine. I've been pissing like a racehorse & struggling to drink enough water.

Simple answer is yes but it could also be a sign of something else. For example are you getting enough nutrients and eating a balanced diet?

How long have you been dieting. Happens often when people drink more fluids and eat a diet that gives a better sodium: potassium ratio.
 
Not so much dieting as eating healthy. Just taking it easy as I have lost been on diets before and lost loads of weight fast only to put it back on and then some.
 
Is you pee smelly sugary? My son was drinking loads of water and juice and peeing loads as a result. His pee smelt like sugar puffs and diagnosed type 1 diabetes. Blood test confirmed it

Sorry to hear about your son, but thankfully no smell
 
People often urinate loads in first part of a healthy eating plan as they dump shit loads of water that has been retained as a result of their poor diet habits (high salt etc).......This is why people normally dump shit loads of weight in the first week of a diet, mostly water
 
There's usually a lot of water lost in the first week or 2 while your body adjusts to the new diet but, longer term, fat loss also generates water.

Fatty tissue is 10-50% water.
Very roughly, for each 1kg of pure fat metabolised, equivalent to about 9000 kcal, you will lose 1.1-1.5kg in weight consisting of 1kg fat and 0.1-0.5kg water.
The fat is metabolised into CO2 and water and 1kg of fat will produce an additional 600g of water.

So for every 1kg of fat loss your body will need to remove about 0.7-1.1 litres of additional water.
