    Can you drink too much...water?

    I am in day 4 of induction, and am really thirsty all the time.

    I have a large water jug (4 pint) in the fridge with a couple of lemon slices in it for flavour. I also drink 6 mugs of herbal tea and a mug of coffee each day. Also I am drinking water at night which is extra to the above, another 2 - 3 pints!

    Am I drinking too much?

    How did induction effect your water drinking habits?

    A good rule of thumb is 64 ounces (4 pints) PLUS 8 additional ounces (1/2 pint) for each 25 pounds you have to lose PLUS extra if you are losing fluids when you exercise. It isn't uncommon around here for folks to consume a gallon or more per day. Drink up!

      Just don't drink large amounts of water all at one time---that can be deadly. Spread the water out throughout the day.
