mm,it could be so many reasons...what else are you eating.?too many nuts and seeds unsoaked and ungerminated could be dehydrating,mis combining foods can be dehydrating,not enough watery foods,unsweet fruit,greens and of course juicy and sweet fruits can be dehydrating....living in air conditioning is dehydrating,not enough fresh air and deep breathing will make you dry.

added salt and processed sauces can be dehydrating too.

try some MSM in your water too,chia seeds are wonderful,avocados,lovely juicy fruits and unsweet fruits,greens,yes green juice is magical and wg juice too,seeds are great with lovely omegas 3 and 6 much needed for hydrating the body and skin...

drink your water before meals not during nor immediatley after....i like to drink at least 1 litre to 1.5 litres in the morning before i have anything else.
hope something helps :)

Thank you!!! Can you make an even more detailed list of your daily foods?

I am SO achey and dry again this morning. My eyes hurt, head hurts and i don't feel rested AT ALL.

So, i should chill out on the salt? i wish i had a chart of hydrating vs. dehydrating.

I should be thriving by now...... more help please!!!!!!! (oh,and not too much heat, and i don't use air conditioning.... i *am* in the PNW... the time i am outside with the kids, i DO try to get my deep breathing in..... *sigh*.... i never can seem to figure myself out!
