There is no difference in keotsis -- you are either IN or your aren't. Normally the more color is from dehydration...you say you drink "enough" water -- how much do you consider "enough"? Dr Atkins said minimum 64 ounces of pure water - nothing added daily. Most people drink half their weight in water to help flush the fat and impurities out of their system each day.
Post a couple days menus so we can tell if you need to add more fats, more veggies or whatever -- give us exact amounts of everything. This isn't a diet where you starve yourself, you need the fats and veggies which help account for your carbs daily. Dr. Atkins said no more than 20 carbs daily -- 10 may be too little - we'll see.
