We really have to endure thirst? Or do we satisfy it with “hypertonic” drinks ?
If so, what are your methods?
Today I tried a method that I read here, I think that Oldmate has suggested it, I took a few sips of water and then spit it, I tried it in the early afternoon and it worked … But then, after sweating due to various businesses, I had terrible thirst and drank a lot, it was also the time when I have the highest temperature, after 6 pm.
In the past I tried to drink small sips, but then it still took me a terrible thirst.
How did you do it?I was washing my mouth out sometimes only during the initial few weeks of refeeding when the stress response was consistently activated giving me an extremely dry mouth. I dont need to do this any more
If you are thirsty you should drink something. As your temps / metabolsim rise you will actually need more fluids. I guess its about finding a balance and what works for you.
Thank you old mate. Well my temps are “good” in the afternoon, but not in the morning. Then I’m not sleeping enough, but I think my metabolism rised up, in fact I sweat a lot, particularly in the face, and I feel to need more liquids… The problem is the morning temp that is stuck and lately a more frequent urination, due to lack of sleep, I think. I already open a topic about the frustration I feel about this, now I will see how it will go with more sleep. But I want to know the strategies you used or are using to manage thirst and liquids. :-)
From a thirst perspective I have noticed that If I have a drink between meals It gives me a dry mouth and I feel thirster. But if I drink with a meal I don’t get that. Maybe you could try having some more fluids with your meal? Also for not I am only really drinking soft drink or milk, sometimes OJ with added salt.
I seem to be the opposite. i urinate less in the morning, and more later in the day without drinking much at all. I am wondering if it is the compensation effect Matt talks about. I need to fine tune and find a way to balance it all out :)
My temperature is rising very slowly but I am noticing my body is beginning to handle fluids a little more.
slowly slowly…. we have to be patient. IT will all work out :)
My coach-trainer give me this advice to control thirst: eat a slice of lemon with salt. It can be useful to someone. Give it a try if you need! :D
