    Are you drinking too much? Are you drinking too little? Today, we’re going to talk about fluids on keto and the biggest mistake people make when drinking water.
    The average American consumes 4.3 cups of water. This is extremely low. Many people also drink other types of liquids, but many of these can damage your health.
    Drinks with caffeine, sugar, and alcohol will actually worsen dehydration. The biggest mistake people make when it comes to fluids is thinking they are hydrated just because they are drinking a lot of liquids.
    There has been a big push to get people to drink more without fixing the root cause of their dehydration-and this is another big mistake.
    We have to consider the big picture, which includes electrolytes. Electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium are essential for hydration. But you have to have them in the correct amounts to be effective.
    The average person who exercises will need two to three liters of water per day. But, to stay hydrated, you need to add sea salt and other electrolytes to your water. You could also add lemon or apple cider vinegar to your water for additional benefits.

      Yeah but coffee (ground coffee) has many benefits especially for the brain. I always drink 1 or 2 cups of coffee everyday along with green tea. It keeps your brain active and I've read that it decreases the risk of serious diseases like heart diseases, brain diseases etc. So drinking coffee is beneficial as long as it's not excessive.

    Great Dr Berg, I learnt through my studies and practice from some great nutritional mentors like yourself. One key bit of information on hydration is to understand that everyone is different in size. So a good rule of thumb, while tried and proven, is to drink 30 mls of water for every kilo of body weight. More if hot weather or exercising. This has worked really well for me and my clients as it does not leave you dehydrated or over hydrated. Drinking too much water shifts chemistry and depletes essential electrolytes.

    Thanks for the calm delivery of simple, healthy advice, Dr. Berg. I grew up without healthy examples. I noticed a decent lowering of my blood pressure and overall health after adding more seltzer to my diet lately. I know the carbonation isn't as healthy as still water, but it is an improvement from where I was. I try to drink a bubbly water 1-for-1 for any other beverage. And then I drink water before bed, once in the middle of the night, and first thing when I wake up. I grew up drinking sugary soft drinks first thing in the morning! That was insanely hard to kick when friends started noticing how much soda I drank. I now have a diet soda perhaps once a month to once a quarter. I can't even stomach sodas or sweets now really. It makes me feel dehydrated and nauseous just thinking about it.

      @@NYCStateofMind7 Hey thanks so much! So basically, I combine intermittent fasting with the Keto Diet.
      So I do a 23hr fast everyday, absolutely No carbs, i.e Pasta, Bread, Rice etc. With a portion of meat (about the size of your palm) with half a plate of veg. (Green Veg) Sprouts, broccoli cucumber, or a non starchy veg. I always make sure to drink a massive cup of water before and after each meal too. I maybe throw in a handful of Macadamia or pecan nuts too from time to time aswell.
      Ensure that each meal is considered carefully and is nutrient dence. Check your Macros and what you need on a daily basis (everyone is different ey)
      It is quite hard at first to break off from the carbs, But the more you do it. The easier it becomes as you become more fat adapted. The clear mind, the energy, is fantastic. Hey and the more you realise and educate yourself with just how much rubbish really is in modern food. The easier it to avoid it.
      Allow your body to adjust and do it gradually, be nice to your body and your body will be nice to you.
      And remember, To get something you've never had before, you have to do something you've never done before. Stick at it and all the best, friend!

      not drinking enough water will make your body retain water. Do an experiment with your own body & take note of what you are drinking, activity levels, weather, what you have eaten etc, and observe the difference when you drink enough water for your circumstances. You will love being properly hydrated, there are so many benefits

      Dr. Berg sells some great electrolyte powder in several different flavors and at a reasonable price. I prefer the tangerine, but that's just me. You just mix a small scoop in your water and you're good to go! My doctor told me to stop drinking Gatorade because it's actually bad for the kidneys, bladder and urinary tract. Since I switched to Dr. Berg's powder, I haven't had anymore of the bladder infections or UTIs that have plagued me all of my life. You should give it a shot! 😉
