    also drinking a lot of water and not peeing it out can cause big issues too. something called hyponatremia can be deadly. it can happen from too much water but also not enough sodium in your body. your body is made up of a percentage of water.(cant remember the number). you are risking your health trying to do what should NOT be done

    60% of body is water i think - a quick Google just told me that women actually have ~55% because we always get the wrong end of the stick in everything.

    So yeah.

    And true about the drinking too much water thing. 3L is a fair amount of water. More than the "recommended" 2L. There is such thing as too much water.

    far more likely there is no medical problem and OP has misunderstood the basics about weight loss and/or what the doctor said.

    Well of course. :lol:


    Just pointing out to her what the words she wrote actually mean. :grin:

    I am on a ... low sodium diet .... I drink more than 3 lit water some days and I dont go and pee it out as often as I should with that much water.

    Please help if anyone knows what can be done.

    If you're not consuming salt and yet drinking more than 3 litres of water, you're probably slightly hyponatremic. Salt your next few meals and you should be right.

    Oh by the way - I hardly sweat in saunas too. Takes me AGES to sweat. Especially in a dry sauna. In an infrared sauna I tend to sweat quicker but it still takes a good 15 minutes before any sweat breaks out, so don't take lack of sweat in a sauna as a water retention measurement.

    This. I just don't sweat. Full stop. I don't sweat in heat. I don't sweat with exertion from hard exercise. Except for my hands and under my breasts, and it's really just barely. I don't sweat. Neither does my daughter.

    Wait till you hit menopause!

    I hardly produced a drop of sweat until about 2-3 years ago. Now I go about soaked half the time.

    I'm 56 and that's all behind me. I never had a drop of sweat with my hot flashes or "night sweats". I just turned bright red.

    No sweat would be nice ... bright red, not so much.

    Heh. 90% of my hot flashes were just burning red ears. I have short hair. I looked ridiculous.

    Same, on average I get a bit of a sheen but the only time I have to like wipe my face or something is if the humidity is also very high.
