Why do I always seem much more thirsty when I eat lots of calories?

[Lumberg]

It seems like whenever I splurge that I get extra thirsty.....

could it be I have to flush more toxins out of my body? That is the best explanation I can think of.

just a guess you NEED more water to digest the extra foods. especially protein.

All those carbs/calories are holding back that water.

 

[Lumberg]

so the carbs make my cells retain more water?

I thought the process of breaking down carbs into glucose released water?

What about proteins and fats?

I know the process fo breaking down protains is called hydrolosys...is that because it uses or releases h2o?

Your sodium intake has just increased and sodium = thirsty
