Currently I'm on my 3rd day of induction for the umpteenth time, and always find that I get extremely thirsty when in ketosis. My salt intake isn't much different than before when I wasn't thirsty all the time and is likely to be less since most of my meals consist of veggies and home prepared meats. Of course, caffeine intake is very low if any at all. However, I have heard that when losing water weight the body keeps trying to replace the water it's used to retaining and will adjust after a while. Is this true and has anyone experienced this? How long did it last or did it ever clear up?

Re: Does this happen to you...thirsty alot?
Well, I've been waiting for one of the intelligent mods to kick in an answer.
You sounded like you wanted something more intelligent than, "durrr"... and *hip bump*Comment

Re: Does this happen to you...thirsty alot?
BTW, thirst is one of the symptoms of ketosis. Also, the more I drink the thirstier I am, so it seems to be something our bodies really crave, especially after so many years of not listening to what our bodies really need (like that pop tart).
Oh, and durrr...*hip bump*

I guess I'll take what I can get, even if that's all it is

Re: Does this happen to you...thirsty alot?
Thanks for the input - nice to know I'm not alone with that one. I lurked around a little and found I'm not the only one who needs to stick close to the potty on that one - way cool! Well, not that we have to pee all the time....27 F 5' 7"

Re: Does this happen to you...thirsty alot?
Yes. They keep me around because I'm like the cute little sister type. It has nothing to do with my intellectual capabilities. So long as we get that straight from the get-go.
