Water consumption guidelines…
… regardless of your level of thirst.
Excerpt from Tom Venutos Book, Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle:
“…Your level of thirst is not a good indicator of your level of hydration. By the time your body registers the sensation of thirst, you’re already somewhat dehydrated. Therefore, you should continue drinking water throughout the day, even when you’re not thirsty. The secret is not to let yourself get dehydrated in the first place. If in doubt, drink more, not less.”
