 Re: ketosis and super thirsty | |
I was very thirst too and was eating several slices of bacon a day. I quit eating them for a few days and kept up with drinking 3L of water a day. The thirst has improved and my lips are not wrinkled any more. I am still drinking about 3l a day. Some days more successfully than others. I don't allow myself to drink anything other than plain water until my 3l are in.
I keep it in a big pitcher on the counter. It is easier to drink that way and is always reminding me. If my glass is mostly empty--I fill it up.
The color [past light pink] on the strips is more an indication of dehydration than anything else.
Good Luck

Now I lay me down to sleep; A cup of Splenda at my feet!
I'll be good and drink my water--Leave the grape juice for my daughter.
I promise to eat all my eggs, So take these bulges from my legs!
I'll eat my pork--I'll eat a steer--Just smooth these bumps off of my rear!
I'll never even look at jelly,Please take the blub out of my belly.
These lips will never taste a sweet, (Oh if I could only see my feet!)
So, please, tonite before I wake,
A few more pounds--Whoosh Fairy--take!
