[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2166264, member: 41816"] I sometimes find exactly what [USER=401801]@JoKalsbeek[/USER] has said - that the more I drink and pee, the more I [B][I]need [/I][/B]to drink, because those electolytes get washed out and need replacing. As for quantities - if I only drank when thirsty I would be permanently dehydrated. My thirst doesn't switch on like normal people's. So I make sure I drink to the clock. Tiresome, but boy do I feel better when I am drinking over 3 litres a day. As for keto flu, some people (rarely) have it for weeks. A good rough gauge is to think how much carbohydrate you were eating before you went low carb/keto? The more you were having, the more your body is going to kick off when you stop them. One good thing to bear in mind is that your body learns to switch fuel supply (from glucose to ketones), and it has a memory for the lesson. So you do this once, and your body retains the memory, so it adapts quicker each time. So for most of us (there are no absolutes!), once you have done this once, you won't find it nearly as hard, ever again. My own experience is that is was really worth sticking to it the first time, and getting properly adapted, because now I can switch back and forth between keto and low carb with no ill effects except the odd wistful craving for a deep fried onion ring ;) [/QUOTE]
