    Drinking lots of water, but always thirsty!!

    I drink a 1.5 liter-bottle (~51 oz) of water during the day, then another 2 or 3 tall glasses when I get home.

    I feel like I am thirsty all the time ...is that normal? I could drink more water but it seems to go right through me. Right now, I am ready to refill the 1.5 liter botter with more water.

    Every morning when I wake up my mouth is so dry the first thing I have to do is drink water!

    Any thoughts?

    I was wondering the same thing. The last few days I have been so thirsty, but I am kind of glad I am because I havent been drinking all the water I should have been, now I am drinking tons!

      Its ok, just keep drinking. It almost impossible to drink to much water. And being thirsty is normal.

      51oz is close to what your daily intake should be, but I and a number of others get through 120oz +. Its ok. Keep drinking.

        See this is why these boards are so important to keeping on the Atkins diet. I thought there was something wrong with me. I am craving water these days like a vampire craves blood. Glad to know that all is just fine.

        Side question.... is it ok for my pee to be smelling quite different from what it used to? LOL not that I go smelling it on purpose, it's just that it now has a distinct smell to it.




        still have a few more pounds to go!!

          I've read the different-smelling pee is probably due to the ketones from the ketosis.

          Come on, we all know you smell your pee on purpose... just kiddin!!

            Yeah I realized how strange it sounded as I was typing! Wow the ketones really smell that strongly?

              I drink 100 or more ounces perday. Keep slugging, its normal to be thirsty

              And yes your pee can smell funky. (as can your sweat and your breath) from teh ketones. Yay for stinking! lol

                I read that your breath and/or pee could smell from ketones. My pee smells, thank god it isnt my breath!

                  I drank 150 oz of water yesterday and today I have had 100 so far. My trips to the bathroom have lessened as my bladder adapts. My thirst is my victory.

                  I can smell the urine keytones too, and it makes me happy thank you very much, lol

                  I have ketonic breath too but it is not so bad, almost sweet...so I'm happy....

                    The water thing always gets me too. As I lay down to go to sleep I am feeling thirsty after finishing up my 6th bottle of water. I have always read that by the time you feel thirsty you are already dehydrated. Hard to believe after drinking over 100 ounces that I could be dehydrated.

                      Your pee could smell from new things in your diet - Asparagus is a doozy! If it smells boozy or like polish remover, it is probably ketones. If it's dark, it could be you're dehydrated so drink more water.

                      I often have to get up several times during sleep to drink more; and in the morning my tongue is stuck to the roof of my mouth anyway! Maybe it's just the dry air - but it has helped me to go through about 4 liters/day.
