Hi Dr. Graham!

I am a wrestler that has been listening to some of your audio tapes which
have informed me so helped me enormously. One aspect that really hit
home is eating and drinking directly after excercise. In a recent wrestling
tournament I experimented by bringing plenty of water, oranges, and celery
which helped hugely.

Now my question comes from when I had to dehydrate myself to make
weight for a single match the next week. I tried my best to listen to how
thirsty/ hungry I was and ended up drinking a plethora of water. This
resulted in frequent bathroom breaks of clear urine and I still found myself
aching for thirst by the second 2 minute period in the match.

Is there a certain frequency that I should drink at when dehydrated so as to
not have large amounts seemingly expelled as excess.
Thanks in advance!
