With regard to water pills, I have a friend who has been on blood pressure meds and a water pill for a couple of years. Since May she has been doing 8: 16 IF, not keto but has been watching what she eats and not overdoing it.She has lost about 40 lbs but still has another 60 or more to lose. About a month ago she was saying how she is thirsty all the time (her A1C is 5, she is one of those insulin sensitive heavy people). She drinks a tons and then pees a ton. She is getting muscle cramps. I told her to check with her doctor but discuss electrolyte supplementation. That is when she mentions the water pill she has her on! It was a lightbulb moment. I had no idea she was on it and of course it was no longer suitable and she needed to talk to her MD immediately. She did and stopped it and no more problems
