Hydrated?

glynnz Posts: 32 Joined: 2002/02/25	2002/04/23, 09:50 AM I have read most of the articles on the site about creatine and found out some extremly useful tips but.....I've just started my first Creatine cycle, I'm aware that you have to consume a large amount of water and so on...question is, how do I know that I'm fully hydrated? I've calculated with the ft H20 tool, that I need 100oZ just to stay healthy. what about the amount when I'm using creatine? I would very grateful if anyone out there could answer these questions for me... Also, is it o.k to continue to use my whey protein whilst using creatine?

Just drink plenty of water...most of us drink around 1/2 - 1 full gallon per day! And yes, it's okay to use your whey protein while using creatine. -------------- **_Robert_**

So she drank lots of water preventing dehydration from the drug. Unfortunately reports say she did not die from the drug, but actually by drinking way too much water which thinned out her blood..... But then I agree with Michael, yes its impossible to be over-hydrated in Vegas...2 gallons easily in JUNE!!!! -------------- -||---||- frank -||---||-

rpacheco Posts: 3,770 Joined: 2001/12/13	2002/04/23, 05:52 PM Since she was on ecstasy, maybe she tried to drink 2 gallons of water in one sitting? I still think that it's pretty hard to over-hydrate... -------------- **_Robert_**
