    Why am I so thirsty?

    Perhaps this has happened to you...

    Before I started Adkins, I could go all day drinking 1cup of water or less....I know really really bad.

    Now I can't get enough, I have had nearly 200oz. of water today and I still need more...and more and more.....

    This has been going on for two days now. Why? If you have any insite...let me know.

    Re: Why am I so thirsty?

    This may just be me but when I was drinking over 100 oz. a day I felt like I always needed more, was always thirsty. I cut back to the standard 64 oz. and now I don't get that feeling. Don't know if it is related but I am much more comfortable drinking the lesser amount. Maybe if you used the water method of taking your body weight and dividing in half (which would be 125 oz.) and drinking that it may help. Just my own thoughts I sure others will pop in with more advice.

      The only time I was drinking that much and kept feeling like I needed more water was when I was apparently drinking too much. At least that's what the Drs/Nurses I was working with told me. I had like, chills in the middle of summer and couldn't stop being thirsty no matter how much I was drinking.

        Thanks for your post. I had over 100 oz's this morning and just kept on drinking all day. I do feel a little yucky too. At the very least, I feel overstuffed, headachey, and slow. I'll try cutting back tomorrow and see how I feel.

          actually if you are eating your Atkins correctly the plan has a natural diuretic effect from the 30% protein level. Add to that the increase in foods that have a natural diuretic effect too as many induction veggies do and poof you got more fluid going out. Your body will adjust to this and you will not be so thirsty after a while.

          The not feeling good ios part of what is known as oinduction flu and it too will pass.
