You don't have to drink anywhere near as much water as most people think you
do. The idea that you don't get thirsty until you are dangerously
dehydrated is a myth that has been perpetrated by the people making a lot of
money selling bottled tap water.

Read this medical journal article "The Water Myth" for some scientific fact.

I have been low carbing for 5 years and never drink more than a few glasses
of liquid a day, including coffee. My kidneys are fine as are just about any
other blood chemistry you might want to measure (and which my doctors have
measured over the years.) I am below my goal weight after losing almost 30
lbs.

If you can't drink a lot of water (which I can't due to a damaged urinary
tract) drink as much water as you feel comfortable drinking.

Hi folks,

I heard on TV that you must remain VERY hydrated, i.e. drink
lots and lots of water when you are in Ketosis. They guy
gave no reason.

Can somoene please explain the detailed reason behind it?

Does being-hydrated help you lose weight faster?
Does it give you energy so you won't give up?
Or is it a necessity so you won't develop kidney problems
because that organ HATES ketone concentration.

Your help is appreciated,

J.
