I have just begun the MT plan only two days so far.  I am a protein type.  I am noticing a strong odor in my urine like ripe grapes or sweet smell.  Is this normal?

Yes this could be expected.  This could be tied into the lower insulin levels along with your fat consumption.  It is a bio-chemical fact that when you consume fat while maintaining low insulin levels any fat that is not utilized by your body will be released in your breath or your urine.  This could be what you are experiencing.
