hydration

[Guest guest]

I agree that water is vital! My 7 year old is like a little evangalist in his school. I love hearing him tell the other kids that they need to drink "at least 8 big gulps of water an hour" when they are playing. He tries to explain to them, in his own way, about how our bodies are mostly water, so we need lots of water to keep our body "right".

Peace, love, laughter

About 4.6 oz of water is required to solubilize 100 kcals of carbs (per Dr ).

So walk a mile and free up 4.6 oz of water and 1 oz of carbs.

Fats don't need that.

Consumption of fat only means loss of water to hold the carbs,ie, it doesn't "drive out" the water..

Hi folks:Further to the comments about Dr. Atkins' increase in weight while on IV ...................Worth noting that one pound of sugar contains only about 1700 calories. One pound of most oils contains somewhat more than 4000 calories. The implications seems to be that absorption and assimilation of carbs entails retention of quite a lot of water, while consumption of fats in some way causes the excretion of water.Perhaps. Thoughts?Rodney.
