Can you drink too much water?

[BabyDreamer]

Hello All,

I have a question. Is it possible to drink too much water on this diet? I drink around 170 ounces a day. I know it says everywhere on the board to drink as much water as possible, but is there a point where I am going overboard?

Re: Can you drink too much water?

yes it is very possible to drink too much but you would have to drink in all at once in a rapid action to put yourself in danger from that problem

the only issue with drinking so much water for most Atkineers is they deplete their water soluble vits and minerals because of the limited sources of such on induction. Make sure you are taking your supplements that you need. if you have concerns your doc can do a routine blood test and tell you if you are low in them.

Happy low carbing.

Thanks 2Big

2big,

Whew, I drink that throughout the day so no danger there. As for the blood work, I am set to have a new set done on November 14 as I am daibetic so I will make sure all is well then. Thanks!
