My wife also claimed my kidneys were working hard because they were trying to detox and bring my body down to the level of sugar that I was eating, which means purging what was there as it processed the fat in my body ( I lost 10 kg in a month ), so I needed more water as a result.  So, my advice is, get a water filter and drink as much water as your body is telling you that you need.

Hi Julie Dorey

I had the same thing. I couldn't believe how thirsty I was. It didn't matter how much water I drank I had to drink more.

Someone told me that they had heard that the reason people eat a lot of sugar is because they are dehydrated. So that would make sense. It must mask the dehydration somehow. (this is not fact, I am just guessing)

I am about 2 and a half months along now and the thirst has eased off. Though it comes and goes.
