It depends how you do it. My current approach relies on intermittent fasting for 18 hours (save it for coffee and salty water), and accasional 24-36 hours fast (approx every 6-8 weeks). Not a keto diet, but helps with training Ketons.
- nandomrumber 1y agoWhat salt are you using?
- moi2388 1y agoI use my tears when I see a cake I’m not allowed to have

- wyclif 1y agoI laughed, but in all seriousness I too was interested in the amount of salt he's using for this.
- QuantumGood 1y agoI keep tiny containers around to pick some up with the touch of a wet finger a few times a day. Helps me experiment with how much keeps the keto flu at bay. Also frequent MCT oil from a squeeze bottle.
- commandlinefan 1y agoNot OP, but I do a 36-hour fast once a week. I drink black coffee and water, but I mix one very small salt packet (probably no more than 1/2 tsp) in with one 8-oz glass of water around noon for "lunch". For the most part, that does well enough to stave off the next-day side effects.
- random3 1y agowhy salty water? does milk/cream in coffee make it not fasting?
- eptcyka 1y agoAnything that kicks off your metabolism will make it not fasting.
- random3 1y agoIsn’t a caloric deficit implicitly fasting though? Guessing there’s number of calories / time formula there.
- zargon 1y agoAny time you eat calories, you're not fasting.
- tossandthrow 1y agoIn some paradigms they consider it fasting up to 300kcals a day. In some paradigms you are not even allowed to drink water and call it fasting. The word fast means multiple things.
- Bender 1y agoThat is certainly the purist view. I just came off a 3 day fast and in that time I had some Benfotiamine, B-50 complex and Magnesium. Despite having zero calories and zero insulin impact they do have an impact on the bodies metabolism so a purist would also say I broke my fast but I reject that reality. Some of the times that I have fasted longer 5 to 7 days I also had Krill Oil (5 calories) and that also would break the fast according to purists. 5 calories are not going to shut off fat burning when I am in a 2700+ calorie/day deficit by BMR. When I actually break my fast I can feel the changes in the gut, mood, Ghrelin production, etc... Admittedly I am basing this entirely on a gut feeling. Either way my end goals are accomplished burning some fat, improving my overall feeling of wellness, improving my sleep, improving my vision so it works for me.
