Plus you have to up your electrolytes of sodium, magnesium, and potassium. If you don't you tend to have a foggy head.

- jtmarmon 10y ago100%. i take pills for the sodium and magnesium (they usually have potassium too but usually not enough). and avocados are a staple when it comes to potassium
- ghshephard 10y agoI've never found potassium in sufficient quantities in pill supplements - but low-sodium salt gives you 500 mg per 5g teaspoon (and another 1000 mg of Sodium, Ironically)
- rjsamson 10y agoUnsweetened Almond Milk is also an awesome source of both sodium and potassium - a staple for me while doing Keto.
- ghshephard 10y agoThanks! Really appreciate the recommendation - I'm going to hit up all our local stores for some. Went jogging this evening, and for the first time in about 2+ months didn't get any cramping in the legs (which happens to me 100% of the time for any run longer than about 8-10 minutes), and the only change I've made is supplementing potassium, calcium, and magnesium. In keeping with this thread - I guess I could vary different dozens of variables, one or more at a time, apply the same Ketosis machine learning algorithm, and see what really makes the difference.
- derefr 10y agoSo, pedialyte? Or does that still contain too much glucose?
- johnward 10y agoI'm finding mixed info online but always assumed it had too much sugar. I think it has 25g but some sites are saying 6g. 25g would be more than you are allowed in a day on most keto programs. I typically take ZMA and potassium then drink something like Propel while at the gym. Then I have chicken broth when I get home to get some salt back.
