Since starting keto 5 weeks ago, my thirst for water has quadrupled. Having broken my leg 4 weeks ago my husband is helping me a lot. He made a comment on how much water I am drinking since starting the Keto diet. Is this normal? I drink about 1 1/2-2 gallons of water a day and am very thirsty when I go an hour without water to drink.

Not abnormal. The Eades used to advise drinking until you float and they did not recommend increased sodium intake as do Mr. Phinney and Mr. Volek.
