I was glancing at this log as I was having a morning fortune cookie, which turned out to be very prophetic

Mate I love it, this made my day and I will be thinking of this when I squat tonight.

OK so I heard if you don’t feel well that asking random people on the internet is a reliable way to get a diagnosis.
The last few days I have had a thirst like nothing else. I wake up dry in the morning and no matter how much water I drink I am dry all day ? Unsure if it is a carry over sypmtom from covid (had it 4 weeks ago) or whether it is a symptom of super squats and all the food ? I also feel hot but I figured that was a training and eating effect ?
Anyone else had extreme dryness and thoughts on things to help other than drink water.
Maybe you’re coming down with something
It is possible but everything else feels OK. Just a little tired which is normal, hot and dry. Its weird. I will monitor it and see how I go.
Sounds like menopause to me.
Oh wait…
Haha.
Seriously though, has there been a change to the diet in the last two days?
It is getting brutally hard, and you are still doing heaps of burpees and stuff. There is a chance you are just run down in truth and this is a bit of warning?
I get that sensation before a cold. Which for me is often very minor. I just had one a day or two ago and it’s cleared up already, but definitely had that dry mouth shit and thirsty thing going on. Maybe not a cold more a response to me trying to destroy myself.
You sir are definitely working harder.

It could be male menopause…LOL
No change in diet, literally the same meals other than dinner every day. It could just be the program and fatigue. My misses has been feeling a little off this week too and we were both thinking it was an after effect of covid. Anyway I wont let it stop me yet.
I mean covid didn’t stop you… …so I can’t this doing much. Lol
You know it mate. Only thing that stops me is the wife…LOL

I’m FAR from any sort of medical professional. But are my ideas:
- It could just be as your body gets used to the stresses of SS. The programme is making your body do extra ordinary stuff. This could just your body rebelling a bit.
- Hydration is more than just water. There are salts ETC that you need. However your bodies reply to dehydration is always thirst. So whilst you could be short on electrolites you’ll just have a dry mouth. Take a re-hydration tablet. Like Hyrdrolyte (or similar). In the summer if I’m wotking out doors I take one of these daily.
- The break down of some food requires water. Enzymes in your body use water to break down chemical bonds between protein and fat chains. A person eating more protein and fats needs more water than someone eating bread and simple carbs.

glad to read this because I was thinking this too.
I was also thinking this but wasn’t sure if it was true. I find the more I eat the more I piss, so I was thinking almost the opposite, as in the water comes out of the food ???
Great minds …
A lot of food has water in it. But very little has enough water in it to be “neutral” in terms of what it needs to be be digested. For example - your dinner might have 100ml of water in it - but needs 250ml to be digested. FYI both numbers 100% made up and for illustration only. If you are eating more pissing more its possibly that you are drinking with your food.
What I know for a fact is - high protein diets need more water. It is odd its come on so suddenly. But maybe its a delayed reaction.
I’d pop a few hydration tablets and see what happens over a day or two.

Thanks for the brain storm mate, it definitely helps talking through this stuff. Middle of the night there for you, why you not sleeping. LOL
Night worker. I’m road maintenance. I sleep 05:00 - 12:00.
100% - even if you’re pretty sure you know the answer it’s nice to have a sounding board.

This is just my experience, but when I was running DW, and especially while eating low carb, I am thirsty all the time and dehydrate easily. I have been salting the hell out of my food and drinking lots of electrolytes. It’s about to be summer here so I’m slamming Gatorade zeros and drinking liquid IV packets daily on top of water intake.
Although, I have had many colds that start out as a dry mouth/throat. I have also noticed a dry/scratchy throat after the vaccine, and especially so after covid. I just chalked it up to being a dry winter in NY but it has hung around since January.
Yer big part of me thinks this is a left over from the virus especially as the wife is feeling off too. It is hard to know because I cleverly (maybe not) trained through covid and started SS a week after having it. LOL
Oh well I am off to drink some more milk and some more water. Thanks mate.
