I don't know if my questions isn't interesting enough or if no one else has experienced this, but I'll ask again - When I drink 1/2 my body weight in ounces, I retain the water. When I just drink water when I want to - a glass every other hour or so, I lose more weight. Does anyone else have this problem? Also, when I drink that much water, I feel almost buzzed (if that's possible). Any kind of response would be useful - or maybe I'm just the weird one in the bunch!- Re: Can anyone answer this??? mgardner

This is a reply to # 391,564I couldn't drink half my body weight in water in addition to the lemonade. That would mean I would have to drink 100+ ounces, plus the 64 oz. of lemonade (though I'm still trying to figure out if I need 6 or 8 glasses of the lemonade).
No - I'm fine without about 60 oz of water and 60+ oz of lemonade. I think that's plenty.
yes - you can OD on water if you drink too much. It's something to keep in the back of your mind - especially how it relates to your sodim levels. And when you think about it, 3 quarts of water is all it takes (in one go) to overdose.
YIKES!
---------------------
Water intoxication or overhydration occurs when a person swallows enough water to significantly lower the amount of sodium in the blood.
The sodium imbalance produces a decreased level of consciousness that ranges from lethargy to stupor to coma and even death.
Symptoms of water overdose include drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, headache and possible seizures.
According to Web MD, a person would have to chug about three quarts or more of water at one time to overdose

This is a reply to # 391,565I think there's an awful lot of good advice on CureZone (especially on Ask Shelley) but I dont like the tendency to suggest that there is a "cure all" that will work for everyone.
There are a host of reasons why one person will retain water much more than another, so I dont see how a blanket instruction on how much water one should take in could possibly apply to everyone.- Thanx em Anya

This is a reply to # 391,568Hi em,
I just want to thank you for your consistently rational and considered approach to all this stuff. For the first time, on your advice, I'm going to kick the swf's (then never do anything...) and see how I go on double tea. Like you, I think rules are for the guidance of wise men and the obeyence of fools (one of my grandad's old sayings but don't try it on a policeman - it doesn't go down very well...)
Whew - justification that I'm not doing anything wrong by just drinking when I'm thirsty. Keep telling myself it's a book not a bible.
Thanks again and happy fasting if that's possible!

I thought you must've been something like that.
I tend to do what feels right and rationalize it afterwards. It's brilliant you look into it, decide what you think and then act. But thanks for passing on your findings - I think they'll help me.

MoreThis is a reply to # 391,564HI there, well I do know that you can only absorb about 4 ounces of water when you drink something. So maybee drinking ever hour or so would be far more benificial. I know high protien diets are known to swell the kidneys and dehydrate the bloodstream. So as long as yoru a high protien condeseur drink small amounts of water frequently.
