Thirsty? Beware: These Foods And Drinks Will Dehydrate You

The Downside Of Low-Carb Diets

Although low-carb diets help some people shed weight, they also make people lose water. But how do carbs relate to fiber? According to researcher Dr. Stephen Sondike, most people get fiber from pasta and bread. When you cut out fiber, your body retains less water.

“The lower your carb intake, the greater your risk of dehydration, and subsequently the greater your need for water,” said Dr. Doris Pasteur, the director of the Nutrition Wellness program at Mt. Sinai. The solution? Eat more fiber, and drink more water!

Stay tuned for the one type of tea that dehydrates you.
