Really thirsty?
Does anybody else have any problems with being really thirsty while eating LC? Just in the past week I've noticed I have an almost unquenchable thirst. I drink about 100 oz. of water per day. I don't drink sodas or anything like that. I know that diabetes can cause this, but a week before starting the diet my doctor did a bunch of blood tests, and I specifically asked him if I was borderline diabetes, and he said not even close. So I don't think that's the problem. I've tried drinking more water, but it depletes my sodium and then I have trouble being dizzy.
The only other thing I can think it might be is the weather. It's turned colder (not cold because I live in So. Calif. and for most people the 50's are pleasantly warm) and it's become very dry (about 34% humidty). The dryness is made worse because we've been using the heat at night. I've never had this in past winters though.
Anybody have this issue and found a solution? It's driving me nuts!
Thanks!
Bonnie
