Gotta love how the water weights comes off the first few days. 3.2lbs in 3 days.

However, I've been struggling with dehydration (despite drinking 100oz of water daily). I did some research tonight and I learned that low carb dieters need to up thier sodium intake to adjust for the water weight loss. I read that we also lose a lot of water in sleep through our mouths...water vapor... which would why I wake up at 4 or 5 or 6 am feeling terrible. I drink two large glasses of water and then I'm able to get back to sleep. I'm not techincally eating low carb. I'm eating low processed foods. No fruits and veggies are off limits. But am eating very little grains/pasta/rice etc. Occasionally, I'll have a sandwich on a whole grain sandwhich thin bun. And, I will have oatmeal (homemade) a couple mornings and I am trying to have a serving of beans each day.

So, I've put a little salt in my water. Hopefully, that helps.

Has any one experienced similar problems?

Yes, you need more sodium on a low carb diet. I make sure to add 1/2 tsp of sea salt to my food per day. I also make sure to take a potassium supplement. Luckily I found that my body adjusted after about a week and I wasn't struggling so much with needing to drink. Although i do try to drink at least 64oz of water a day.
