Water and Fluid Consumption
If you do not have enough water you will become dehydrated which can lead to constipation (not nice but it will happen if you don’t drink enough), headaches, lowering of blood pressure, (causing dizziness) and cramps. So make sure you drink plenty of fluids regularly through the course of the day. The amount of water you need varies from person to person so make sure you are having enough to feel comfortable. A guide for water consumption throughout the day is around 2-4 litres (please be advised it can be harmful to consume large volumes of water or other fluids in a short space of time.) If you are following the Working or Total Solution you should avoid flavoured water that contains citrus as this could take you out of Ketosis and slow down the fat burning process and may possibly lead to feelings of hunger. Still or sparkling water can be used. Tea and coffee will count towards your fluid intake. If you are following the Total or Working Solution then you should avoid having milk in your drinks.

But have seen that people say they add coffee and that they drink tea (can you drink it with milk?)
I know you can have coke zero every now n again. But what else? xx
Thanks girls
Another question-
What stuff are you allowed for constipation or to help not get it ?
MrsWilsoncroft said:I tend to have lemon green tea at work or I use a HEA of milk to have tea/coffee.
If you dont want to use HEA sw say its 0.5 syns per dash of milk.
I also like syn free squash such as Robinson's no added sugar squash and also Ribena really light, no added sugar.
If im having alot of scan bran I make sure I drink plenty of water too.
And occasionally I have fizzy drinks such as Diet Coke or Lilt Zero which I love
