Yup, sounds like you are still not intaking enough fluids. You might have replaced other drinks woth plain water, but probably still drinking the same amounts. Try increasing your intake to 64oz a day, you'll see a color change.

I find that continually drinking water through the day is best... not all at once. Some days I will drink between 64-128 oz of water and be peeing every 15 minutes.

That's a decent amount, but it isn't really enough to notice a drastic color change if you have been spreading it out.

What color is it?

Your lymphatic system could be highly saturated with toxins and waste products right now, and so could your liver.

My recommendation:

Pick up a bottle of Red Clover supplements (helps flush toxins from your liver)
Do stretches first thing in the morning (helps flush toxins from your muscles)
Drink 1 beer (helps flush toxins from your kidneys - only 1 though!)

Increase your water intake a little, also drink hot herbal tea (green tea, rose hips, raspberry, mint). Report back to us in 2 weeks.

Or she could just drink tons of water?

Haha...quick as in I wasn't going to give the epic tale of the adventures of my urine. :D

And we are truly grateful for that.

Usually I don't laugh out loud until I read the post, but your title was enough for me.

:D

increase fluid intake, i think its the amount of fluids that determine the color, not the content, drink a gallon of water in a couple of hours, and it should be all clear
