Darkening urine is a sign of extreme dehydration - if u are eating lots of protein, this places extra pressure on the kidneys to remove the excess urea formed from the break down of the amino acids (which contain lots of nitrogen). The body will use up water to flush this nitrogenous waste out. As to the hot apartment - sit in a wet sheet - the evaporation will cool u down.
You say that u are drinking lots of water, but i would suggest you are not drinking enough. If you are not eating much else in an attempt to lose weight, then you would need to drink 7 to 8 glasses - normally u dont drink this much as the body will gain this water from the food that u eat.
It is imperative that u go to the GP as this is a bad sign, especially with lower back pain.

I hope you mean that water is your only beverage. I hope you are eating nutritious food.
If you are not eating any food, and are only taking in water, and you've been doing this for a while, then your body is breaking down muscle as well as fat. This is why starvation diets are so bad for you.
If you are taking in less than 800 calories a day, you are breaking down your body. You are also training your body to operate at a lower metabolic rate.
STOP. EAT. Just make sure that you are eating nutritious food --- whole grains, unprocessed fruits and vegetables, and lean proteins such as fish, turkey and chicken.
You won't lose weight fast, but you didn't put it on fast either. It takes time.

Just water isn't a very healty diet, is it? Darker urine can be a symptom of several things. Lower back pain can be a symptom of bladder infection. Eat healthier, excersise to lose weight and see a physician. Good luck

I as soon as had a pal who grew to become very practically me. Once after we had been sitting on the fringe of a swimming pool, she crammed the palm of her hand with a few water and held it earlier than me and stated this: "You see this water cautiously contained in my hand?" It symbolizes love. "This is how I noticed it. As lengthy as you maintain your hand caringly open and enable it to stay there, it'll be there. However in the event you try to near your hands round it, it'll spill through the primary cracks it reveals." This is the finest ppl do after they meet love. Try to own it, count on it, call for it, and it simply spills just like the water out of your hand. If there are men and women you're keen on, enable them to be unfastened beings. Give and do not count on. Advice however do not order. Ask, however not ever call for. It would sound sensible however this can be a lesson that can take a life-time to real train. It is the name of the game of real love. To real Practice it , you need to actually believe no expectancies from the ones you're keen on, and but an unconditional worrying" Life is lovely, are living it. If you're keen on whatever, permit it cross. If it comes again to you, with out you having to plead or beg, then its yours eternally. If it does not then it was once not ever intended to be"

possibly or you are burning the protein of your body by not eating enough.Also a lot of water can lower the acidity of your urine letting bacteria get into your urinary tract. Get check up with Doctor please!

When you overload your kidneys, they WILL cry and make sure that you hear that by making you feel pain. Better go to a doctor.
