How it works

How we calculate your water intake

A simple, widely used starting point, adjusted for exercise and heat.

1

Base need from your weight

We start with about 35 mL of fluid per kg of body weight each day.

2

Add for exercise

We add about 350 mL (12 oz) for every 30 minutes of exercise.

3

Add for hot weather

Heat and humidity increase sweat, so we add about 500 mL (17 oz).

Tips

Hydration tips on a GLP-1

GLP-1s can blunt thirst, so it helps to plan your fluids.

GLP-1s can blunt thirst, so it helps to plan your fluids.

Sip through the day

Small, regular sips are easier than large amounts at once, especially if you feel full.

Watch for dehydration

Dark urine, headaches, dizziness or constipation can be signs you need more fluids.

Replace lost fluids

If you have vomiting or diarrhea, drink extra fluids and contact your clinician if it doesn’t settle.

Everything counts

Water, milk, tea, soups and water-rich foods like fruit all add to your daily total.
