Out of financial need my daily meals have stayed consistent.Hitting about 2700-2900 calories a day, primarily bananas then corn pasta or potatoes for dinner.Feeling great, but I'm in the bathroom 26-32 times a day.I was drinking a liter of water when I woke up, one liter of water around 11am, and then a split liter 1/3 before dinner, half after. I was told that my excessive pitty trips were detox..... It's been weeks (5) of eating and drinking very consistently.The past few days I cut back to 2 liters a day. My nutritionist (who loves rt4) told me that 3 liters plus what I put in my smoothies might be too much for my dwarfism stature. She suggests 2.5liters a day total (smoothie water and drinking water)Does this sound like enough?!?!?

I chugged water like there was no tomorrow. On my gym days I was necking up to 8 litres a day! That was very excessive lol
I think that 2.5 litres a day is fine, but if you're peeing like crazy then perhaps you should reduce it even more. It depends on the water content in the fruit you eat.
Experiment. It's not going to be the end of the world if you stop drinking as much so try it out and see what works for you.
I stopped drinking water at night as well because I was getting up 2-4 times a night to pee. I sleep much better now!!

Thank you
Yeah, I've been cutting off water at 7pm, I still get up once or twice a night. No one has ever said clear all the time can be excessive, glad to see that chart. I've been heavy on date and/or banana smoothies lately, so I think I'm going to give 2.5 total a week a try and see how it goes.
I see my dwarfism rheumatologist in a few weeks, maybe he'd have a better Ideas of quantity of water for my
stature.
