Re: ketosis and super thirsty | | Hey there sweetz,
I'm on week 2 induction and some days I'm really thirsty too. Do you find that after you drink you are running to the bathroom and getting rid of it? This is what's happening to me. I feel really thirsty, drink alot of water, then 20 mins later I'm getting rid of it in the bathroom. Then I'm thirsty again...
Sometimes I get very thirsty after eating some cheese or something strong tasting. Perhaps some of your thirst is more of a dry mouth sensation than real thirst? I think burning fat increases thirst. You're flushing out alot of fat and fat by-products so you need to keep drinking.
In any case, like others have said here - I wouldn't worry about drinking too much water.
Btw - I think my skin's looking much better after nearly 2 weeks of induction. I'm sure the water is part of the reason.
