I have been on Atkins for 3 weeks now. I am doing really well, but find that I am EXTREMELY thirsty all the time! I am drinking 2-3 times the recommended amount of water (water is all I drink), but still can not seem to quench my thirst. Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions?

I was like that to. then i started drinking diet rite. Drinking tomuch water will overwork your kidneys. Try drinking diet rite and see if that works. good luck

Nicki,
If you want a little variety to your cola drink, add one of the Atkins flavored syrups. I bought vanilla, and I had vanilla coke. They also have cherry.
Atkins has soda flavored syrups now too, that you can add to seltzer or club soda (club does have sodium, so watch out). They have ginger ale, cola, lemon-lime, and I think another flavor. I haven't tried these yet.
If you like flavored water, there is also Fruit2O by veryfine. It is sweetened with Splenda, and tastes very good. I've tried lemon, strawberry and orange. I liked the first two better than the orange. Also, this isn't carbonated water.
I have the same problem as you, the more water that I drink, the more I "leak" out, and the more dehydrated I feel, so I've had to drink other liquids to balance me out.
