Hi all,
I've just started the sole source cambridge programme. My counsellor told me to drink at least three litres of water a day, and I get through about 4, to compensate for my workouts and as I'm generally thirsty. I also have 1-2 black coffee's, per day. I'm getting panicky though as I've heard a lot about water intoxication. It says on the BBC site that if your urine is clear you're drinking too much,and that too much will cause the brain to swell and lead to death. Now I'm terrified to drink my 3 litres. Any advice? How much is too much? Thanks for reading!
