The Importance of Sodium, Potassium, and Magnesium on Keto
Cutting carbohydrates reduces insulin levels, which signals the kidneys to excrete sodium and water. This flush can deplete key electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium), leading to fatigue or headaches, often called the 'keto flu'.
Replenish electrolytes by salting food, drinking bone broth, and consuming potassium-rich meats and salmon to maintain energy levels during adaptation.
