SteFYI Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I am a big water drinker and drink lots and lots of water. I sometimes drink a little seltzer water (plain, with citrus, or with apple cider vinegar), and sometimes coconut water - but not every day. I feel like I'm drinking a lot of water, anyway. I feel soooo dehydrated ALL THE TIME since I started the Whole30. As an example, I drank 5 pint glasses of water between 730 and noon, and then another giant mason jar (24 oz) during my workout. Does anyone have any ideas as to why? Am I not actually drinking enough? OH, and I did drink one cup of coffee today) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Jane Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 It looks like you are drinking enough water, roughly 105oz a day. Maybe you feel dehydrated due to low sodium intake? I used to have high blood pressure and when I switched to a low sodium diet (<1500mg per day), I felt thirsty all the time. I ended up needing to drink more "smart water" with electrolytes and coconut water. Also, it wouldn't hurt running it past your doctor, it may be a sign of something non-diet related!

Moderators Tom Denham Posted August 12, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 12, 2014 We recommend drinking 1/2 ounce of water per pound of body weight per day. Drinking 1 ounce per pound of body weight per day is okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
