I have read my book like I read my bible, but I remember someone saying on this board (a long time ago) that if you are really thirsty it means you are burning fat. Is that possible? I do drink my water everyday like I am supposed to, but I can't seem to get enough. I know more water will not kill me so I know that I will be ok, I was just wondering if this were true?

Re: So so thirsty!!!
Ketosis has a diuretic effect, which is stronger in the first week or so of Induction. Protein also has a diuretic effect, and you are probably eating more than you were eating before. So being thirsty is somehow expected."Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster."

Re: So so thirsty!!!
Severe thirst is one of the first symptoms I get when my potassium is low. Just be concious of any muscle aches or pain and if they develop see your doctor and ask to have your electrolytes tested.1st Goal ~ 199 Onderland -Met 3/29/10
