How much water do you drink? page 2

[Tricialisha]

I drink about 3 liters of water every day... water w/ lemon, mineral water, iced or hot tea. Water is my go-to beverage.

Every since going primal, I've hated the taste of bottled water (and now drink less water than I use to)- we don't have a filter here, so maybe that's the problem. BUT! I drink anywhere from 4-8 cups of tea, and two cups of coffee a day. Only time I neeeeed water, is after I've been outside in the sun walking around.

Maybe it's time to invest in a filter. Or stalk someone that has filtered water, so I can try it first.

I drink about 8 cups of filtered water a day. I filter it through coffee beans so it might not be optimal.

Canio...you, my friend, are the epitamy of Primal!!!

Just curious... I have been drinking about 6 cups and I have been getting cramps in my feet and calves... so think I need to drink more.

CW says 8 cups a day... how does that translate to a primal way of eating?

Plus... I am someone who doesn't have a very good thirst mechanism... I am hardly ever thirsty!

If you're eating plenty of veggies, I don't know that the CW standard is appropriate. The cramps may be coming from you flushing
out electrolytes or some other mineral.

I know when I train and sweat excessively, and subsequently drink a lot more (filtered) water, I tend to get muscle cramps and charlie horses which are relieved by adding some potassium & sea salt. I drink on average 2 liters of water a day, maybe 3 on days with heavy martial arts training.
