Question on thirst....

[GreenMountain]

Guys and Girls,

I have recently upped my protein intake to gain some mass. Coincidentally I have become incessantly thirsty with dry skin, lips, etc. I try to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and I think I usually get more. What gives here? Has anyone had this happen to them? I also drink about 16oz of coffee a day but I try to offest that with a little extra H2O. Any advice or insight?

what are you getting your protein from? a lot of meats are high in sodium and can cause dehydration.

8 glasses is the minimum...for a weight trainer you should be drinking at least a gallon.
