when you first cut carbs you shed a lot of water, you need to drink more and add an extra teaspoon of salt a day, you may find that added healthy fats help too
the salt is important, perhaps try it in 2lt of water, you may not notice it much and you should be drinking at least that muchThanks jack412- i will try this and see how i go.
Salt might be an issue though as i hate itBut for my health's sake i will give it a try.
Prior to November 2013 i hadn't been to my GP in years!! I don't want to keep going back to the doctors as i go often enough as it is now - the GPs secretary knows me by my first name and so does my Pharmacist i go in that often

I know there were a lot of links, but that is a wealth of knowledge I've got off the forum in 9 months. from people who have lived it
here is the first week low carb again

I must have been a school marm in a past life, it was a bit preachy ..sorryThanks for that link - i did read it last time...i promise jack412 - this is what i mean, my memory is shocking!!
The video in one of the links about the low carb high fat diet was very informative -the talk given by the Swedish guy - it does go against everything we are taught to believe about food but at the same time it made a lot of sense.

just making sure the extra Teaspoon salt was for the adjustment period for the first week or two, as per the link, after that it's a total teaspoon a day from all sources.
too much salt will get your fluids flushing..also as we age our kidneys work better at night than the day...god knows why
ok, it's not salt then..does your Dr know you're on a diet? that can increase your creatinine ...you might have thrown some protein in your urine sample, or a dozen other things, another member said they were going to do a 24hr collection last week tooI only took the extra salt for a week - i thought i would have been more thirsty during this time tooBut it didn't happen
I tend to be going to the toilet a lot during the day as well as night - maybe it's the cold
