Was reading some comments in Dr. Jay's blog and read this by him-

"There is a lot of misinformation out there. For instance, the idea that you need to drink eight glasses of water a day or even more is something you run into all the time. There is no basis in science for this. You should drink when you are thirsty and avoid drinking calories. On a low-carb diet if you drink excess water you may exacerbate the tendency to develop hyponatremia (too little sodium in the blood) on this type of diet. When you stop carbs your kidneys will excrete salt and you need to make sure you are getting enough. Unfortunately, you see a lot of examples where wrong advice is given and people are told to restrict salt and drink lots of water. This is guaranteed to give you problems if you are doing low-carb."

In more personal news... leaving for Italy tomorrow so I probably won't be about much. I was afraid my pneumonia was relapsing but it turns out to be more like asthma, evidently asthmatics often have bronchial spasms as a sequelae to pneumonia. I spent some time breathing on a nebulizer at the clinic and have been doing two different inhalers and it is helping. But gah. So ready to be well.
