Drinking Water

Date: August 27, 2007 06:14PM Whenever I am eating a raw diet I find that I basically stop drinking water. Right now I am mostly only eating fruit, and I just dont feel very thirsty, and when I do I usually just eat a piece of fruit and it goes away. Is this bad for me? Am I dehydrating myself? I dont think I've had more than 2 glasses of water per day in about a week, if not less. Still, I'm not thirsty at all. Does anybody else find they need less water? Should I be forcing myself to drink more? Re: Drinking Water

Date: August 27, 2007 06:42PM yeah, I definitely drink less water--especially with higher fruit proportions.
I think it's important to get enough water, even if you aren't thirsty. I tend to eat thinking I'm hungry, when really I'm just thirsty. I've read that you should drink water around the time that you're eating--it dilutes the enzymes. But trying to drink only when there's nothing in my stomach is impossible--I eat constantly. I fill a 1.5 bottle and try to drink it throughout the day. I also find that tea goes down easier when I'm not that into water. measure twice, cut once.

Date: August 27, 2007 11:32PM if you are drinking water in the morning. your stomach should (should) be empty no? Usually if I am very active I turn to fruits instead of water when finished, but there should be no need to eat when thirsty, fruit leaves the stomach fairly quickly, so a few hours after eating fruit should be fine for drinking.

You really drink no water at all? I feel like I could stop drinking water...I mean, I sit down with a whole melon for lunch, after that I have to pee like crazy! So I must be getting hydrated. If you dont mind, could you tell me what a typical day is like for you and what fruits you eat the most/how much? When I am raw I naturally gravitate to an all or almost all fruit diet, I know you are a seasoned fruitarian so any tips would be great! Re: Drinking Water

Date: August 28, 2007 03:04AM Before raw I used to carry a water bottle with me at all times and drink through the day. Once I wnent raw and started eating lots of juicy fruit, I discovered that I didn't need to do it anymore. Furthermore, to my absolute amazement, despite not drinking water in amounts anywhere near to the past levels, I discovered that my body was properly hydrated for the first time!
To me, being properly hydrated is the top benefit of eating fruit-plentiful raw diet. Gosia
