Re: help!!! day 4,5,6 dry mouth!!!
That is great news. Dry mouth and excessive thirst are signs that you are in ketosis. That means you are burning fat instead of stored carbs for energy. You are losing weight continuously now. When your body burns fat, it generates waste products that are excreted in your urine. That makes you thirsty. Try drinking at least the 64 oz plus an additional 8 for every 20 pounds you are over goal. I drink around 100 oz a day at least, but I'm still thirsty from time to time.
GREAT WORK!Rick

Congratulations - it sounds af if you are in ketosis!!
Keep on doing what you are doing and I am sure you will soon be a big loser!
Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

Re: help!!! day 4,5,6 dry mouth!!!
Could it be you are eating salty foods before bedtime? If you find your mouth is dry and your fingers are stiff it could be from that as well.Comment

Re: help!!! day 4,5,6 dry mouth!!!

Re: help!!! day 4,5,6 dry mouth!!!
i was actually just wondering what all the dry mouth was about too. i drink 10-12 glasses of water daily (and i've never been much of a water drinker before) and i always wake up dry mouthed.
