Being someone who has to consume high fibre, as part of a medical condition, I cannot stress this enough: DRINK WATER, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD DRINK MORE WATER THAN YOU USUALLY DO!!!

    Anyone who needs to be reminded to drink water deserves a Darwin award.

    When you consume a high fibre diet, you require more water than usual. Depending on the body type, it can be difficult to ascertain just how much water someone needs to consume.

    If you drink a normal amount of water on a constantly high fibre diet, you can tear your anus doing a big poo. There is no nicer way to say it.

    Part of the hijacking of our bodies by processed food and sugar is that many of us literally cannot discern the subtle feeling of dehydration from the more intense feelings of "wanting to eat something high glycemic" plus all that sugar requires more water. So, I can see how today we're struggling with hydration more than in the past, when bodies were more fit and adjusted to whole foods and healthier routines.
