Thirsty and craving ice water

#1

Hi guys,
Has anyone else experienced being thirsty for ice water all the time? I used to drink room temp water before and now I only want ice cold water. Is this only me?

I used to be thirsty all the time. But that was an effect of being diabetic. Since I dropped the carbs, I am never thirsty and have to force myself to drink. I find it odd you are thirsty on Keto… maybe you eat too much salt?

I have upped my salt intake, but the weird part is Im craving very cold water all the time like I want to cool down. I never used to like cold water.

Thirst is a very common effect of keto as the body doesn’t retain fluid like it does with carbs. It gets easier as you adapt.
