Yes, you might pee a lot while fasting, and here's why:
During fasting, several factors can contribute to increased urination:
-
Increased Fluid Intake: As mentioned in the provided reference, many people drink more liquids like water, coffee, or tea to combat hunger during a fast. This increased fluid intake naturally leads to more frequent urination.
-
Water Weight Loss: Fasting, especially when it involves drastically reducing carbohydrates, can cause your body to release stored water. This is because carbohydrates hold onto water. When you cut carbs, your body sheds this water, resulting in increased urination. The reference confirms this.
In summary, increased urination during fasting is often a combination of increased fluid consumption and the body releasing stored water due to dietary changes.
