Got this off a post.
You may not pee as much as you take in due to Ketosis that your body is getting deep into. I've been drinking 50-64oz a day, and I know that i am not peeing that much during the day as I drink it. But my evenings and mornings are much better output wise. Also. As you lose weight, you have to have plenty of water in your system to dissolve glucagon that your body is making from the fat that ketosis is turning into glucagon for energy. 8 lbs of water for every 2lbs of glucagon.
Thats why we lose weight in waves. We have to restore the glucagon stores in our body (read: burning fat which reduces weight), then replenish water to dissolve the glucagon (gain weight temporarily) burn the glucagon for energy, and expel the water as waste. ( lose weight) Then the cycle starts all over again.
As long as your getting your water in, you should be fine. i know your not excercising yet, so your water loss is mainly from exhaling (up to a quart a day) and urination. You will have a little from evaporation from the skin, but it is not a lot. (few oz. max. per day).
Also, You body will use any extra water to flush the kidneys and carry waste products (which ketosis makes a TON) out of the body.
