I'm on day 2, and I know hydration is important. How much water do you all drink per day?

    I don't measure but I highly recommend getting a HYDRO-FLASK I fill it two or three times a day. Make sure you get the flip top lid too. I never need to buy or look for water and its always cold. I just drink when thirsty which is all the time.

    Thanks! I've been using 2 1-liter bottles, with one in the fridge while the other is in hand, switching off a couple few times everyday. I don't feel like I'm drinking too much, but I've had to get up and pee the past couple of nights!😠

    I drink between 40 to 60 oz a day. That being said I just recently watched a video on YouTube (Dr Berg) who is a Keto mentor and he said that the rule about drinking 1/2 your weight in oz (which would be about 70 for me) isn't necessary. He drinks 8 to 12 oz a day of water. So I guess it is up to you on what you feel comfortable with.

    My underatanding is to only drink when your thirsty or you'll flush out electrolytes

    12 oz. of water is never going to be enough for me in a day.

    I struggle with getting enough fluids. But I am doing MUCH better now.

    I drink a gallon of liquids each day (16 oz is my morning tea or chai, and 32 oz is water with electrolytes). As soon as I finish a 16 oz glass, I refill it...about once per hour...and I don't let myself pee til I finish the one on my desk! It makes me drink frequently, and helps me finish each glass lol...
