When I first started low-carbing, I drank water like it was going out of style. I was always thirsty, because I was losing electrolytes as I lost weight quickly. Now, I'm not so thirsty, and drinking water was a bit of a chore. Recently, though, I discovered a way to enjoy drinking water more.

My home water is filtered by a reverse osmosis system, which leaves it tasting somewhat astringent to me. By happy accident (I was researching coconut oil) I found a liquid minerals product that's just concentrated seawater (from Utah's Great Salt lake, quality tested and all that). It's mostly magnesium chloride, with most of the sodium removed, and a smattering of trace minerals left in. Just three drops per 8 oz. glass makes the water more thirst-quenching to me. So, now, I'm back to easily getting in my 3 liters/day.
