Electrolytes
When you are eating keto , your kidneys remove salts from your blood more than before . For this reason , you need to up your salt intake . Just as importantly , you must supplement potassium and magnesium . Without this , you can look forward to leg cramps , trouble sleeping , nausea , and all the things that come with electrolyte deficiency .
You can take supplements , but you can also make yourself a “ keto-ade ” and sip on it throughout the day . Morton Lite-Salt is ½ sodium and ½ potassium . Here ’ s one recipe for keto-ade :
• 24 oz filtered water ( or tap water )
• ¼ Teaspoon Morton ' s Lite Salt
• ½ Tablespoon Magnesium Citrate ( found with laxatives )
Mix well . Refrigerate for best taste .
If you want to add your favorite sugar-free sweetener , go ahead . But first , read the handout on selftesting – and then test your sugar response to the various sweeteners . See the handout on Sweeteners .
