I just started my keto diet about 2 weeks ago and I feel great. Did have one rough night of "keto flu" but then I started supplementing with minerals and more water. I'm super low carb right now. Funny thing is to get (about 4 weeks ago) I would get a double big mac or a double quarter pounder but no drink and no fries and that was it till breakfast. That was fun.
- MichaelGG 10y agoDo you supplement with sodium, potassium and magnesium? It might be placebo but I seem to do better when adding sodium (I drink a gram or two via a broth.) Potassium is easy to get from "lite" salt (hard to eat enough otherwise). The amounts required (several grams of sodium, several of K), according to random sites I've looked up, seem rather high for a non-keto dieter. Dunno if they are accurate.
- apineda 10y agoI bought a magnesium supplement that includes potassium and sodium, albeit the sodium is the easiest to get anyway, just salt things. Apparently avocados are the potassium go to as well. I've looked at the recommended numbers, and quite frankly I'm not tracking enough to know if I'm hitting htem. The more I remind myself of the recommended and the easier it is for me to calculate on the fly, it's just a matter of looking at my bookmarked page, habit to build I guess until I memorize it. For now I just go by how I'm feeling. If I think I'm going to be frustrated I'll get a little more stringent and careful.
