Record it all, try to figure out why and what the effects are and then move on. Today is a new day!🙋🏻

Exactly. Moods, too much free time, not drinking enough all affects outcome but I've been reading abt water weight and apparently it's normal to have temporary water gain after fat loss. Fat cells catabolize fat->catabolites accumulate->cell takes in H2O to eliminate catabolites-> temporary water weight gain that soon resolves. That's why drinking water is so important when losing weight.

Interesting info! 🙋🏻Thank you! I’ve been pushing liquid lately as well as salt because with a new scale I actually discovered/reinforced what I suspected that I was slightly dehydrated even though my liquid intake is HUGE! 🤷🏻♀️

Our diet with so much processed food is loaded so much with salt that you need not ever pick up salt shaker even tho we all do
There is some question abt salt consumption in heathy ppl
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/its-time-to-end-the-war-on-salt/
but for ppl with kidney, heart, liver issues or diabetics need to restrict.
Doc told me 2000 mg/day is ok but I try to keep it way below that maybe 1000 mg is better.
Anyway if you're wondering how much your getting it's listed a bottom of each day and weekly report at nutrients.

In addition potassium rich foods aid in ridding H2O retention but definitely not salt.

Actually people who are on a ketogenic diet NEED extra salt in their diets. Over the 2000mg. I have seen the actual problems showing up on my body even though I push liquids. 🤷🏻♀️I never added much salt because, as you said, processed foods contained so much! I had high blood pressure from the time I was 19 and was told no added salt in my diet. 🤦🏻♀️Well, that changed about 10 years ago....and now I’m having to reverse a lifetime of taste preference. LOL Salt IS a necessary commodity!

Ok your right. Insulin metabolism changes requiem more Na++
Please see the link I posted earlier for full article abt all electrolytes.

"Keto-flu" and Sufficient Intake of Electrolytes
By Martina SlajerovaApr 16, 2013138
"Keto-flu" and Sufficient Intake of Electrolytes
ShareFollow us 148.6k
People often ask me about potassium deficiency (or any other mineral deficiency) on a low-carb, ketogenic diet. I decided to summarise which minerals you should be aware of and what the adequate intake is...
To pin or bookmark an easy to follow guide to keto-flu remedies, have a look at this post!
What is "Keto-Flu"?
Electrolytes (sodium, magnesium and potassium) are often underestimated on low-carb diets. As low-carb expert and scientific researcher Dr. Volek suggests, mineral and electrolyte management is the key to avoiding side effects typically associated with low carb dieting.
When entering the induction phase of a Ketogenic Diet (50 grams or less of total carbs - about 20-30 grams of net carbs), most people experience "keto-flu”. This often scares them off and they start to think that low-carb is not right for their body. The "flu" is nothing else than a result of starving your body of carbohydrates.
Stay strong! You can easily counteract these effects by replenishing electrolytes. Make sure you include foods rich in electrolytes in your everyday diet and take food supplements (if needed).
Firstly, I would like to share my own experience with electrolyte deficiency. I have been really tired recently. It was actually so bad that I couldn't open my eyes and could barely get up even after 7-9 hours of sleep. Also, my energy levels at gym were very low. I woke up in the middle of the night and experienced heart palpitations (weird feeling that could be described as "heart beating too fast"). I knew what was going on: I was magnesium / potassium deficient.
I have been on a low-carb diet for more than a year and always made sure I include food rich in these minerals in my diet. The truth is, I have been so busy recently that I didn't pay enough attention to my diet. Also, stress may have contributed to all this. Excessive stress usually means you need more vitamins and minerals.
So, I got some supplements - an easy way to boost your electrolyte intake. The one for magnesium was great: 400 mg which is 100% RDA (Recommended Daily Amount) per pill, while the supplement for potassium was not as good: 99 mg per pill (only 5% RDA). I understand that this is due to the risk of excessive potassium intake which may be as dangerous as potassium deficiency. However, I still prefer using lite salt (potassium chloride or potassium sulfate. 1/2 a teaspoon of lite salt (mixed in a litre of water) provides 750 mg of potassium! Now, let's have a look at why electrolytes are so important for us...
"Keto-flu" and Sufficient Intake of Electrolytes
Potassium
The most commonly deficient mineral (not just on low-carb diets) is potassium. EDR (Estimated Daily Minimum) for potassium is round 2,000 mg for healthy adults. However, people on a ketogenic diet have special requirements on the top of this, which is round 1,000 mg more. There are a few ways how you can boost your potassium intake.
Eat food rich in potassium or take supplements (if needed). Be careful about potassium supplements, too much of potassium can be toxic and as dangerous as its deficiency. AI (Adequate Intake) of potassium is stated to be 4,700 mg a day. There is no upper limit for healthy individuals and you shouldn't worry about eating too much of potassium, unless you take supplements. Some salt substitutes are very high in potassium while other potassium supplements like this one only contain 5% EMR.
Who should consult supplementation with his doctor: those with kidney disease or take medication for high blood pressure, heart failure or other conditions. Also, salt substitutes may interfere with some medications.
Why is potassium so important for us? Here are signs of potassium deficiency (hypokalemia):
hypertension
cardiac arrhythmia
muscular weakness and muscle cramps, weakness
constipation
depression and irritability
heart palpitations
skin problems
respiratory depression, heart failure (severe deficiency)
Unfortunately, many potassium-rich foods are not keto-friendly but here is a list of keto-friendly potassium-rich foods:
avocados (~ 1,000 mg per average piece)
nuts ( ~ 100-300 mg per 30g / 1 oz serving, depending on the type)
dark leafy greens (~ 160 mg per cup of raw, 840 mg per cooked)
salmon (~ 800 mg per average filet)
mushrooms (~ 100-200 mg per cup)

Magnesium
Magnesium is commonly deficient in modern diets, including low-carb diets. You should be aware of your intake, especially if you are an active individual like me. RDA for healthy adults is 400 mg a day. However, if you are suffering from magnesium deficiency, you may experience muscle cramps, dizziness and fatigue. Of course, severe magnesium deficiency can result in more serious problems.
Here is a list of foods rich in magnesium:
nuts (~ 75 mg per 1 oz of almonds)
cacao powder and dark chocolate (~ 80 mg per 1 tbsp cacao powder)
artichokes (~ 75 mg per average piece)
fish (~ 60 mg per average fillet of salmon)
spinach, cooked (~ 75 mg per 1 cup)
blackstrap molasses (~ 50 mg per 1 tbsp)
Who should consult supplementation with his doctor: those with kidney disease or taking diuretics (magnesium citrate has a diuretic effect).
Sodium
Sodium has always been advised against, especially for those trying to lose weight. The truth is that your body needs extra sodium on a low-carb diet. The reason is that insulin, which also has the effect of reducing the rate at which sodium is extracted through kidneys, drops and it can cause sodium levels to drop significantly, too. You should eat 3,000-5,000 mg of additional sodium occurring naturally in food. It's quite simple to get sufficient intake of sodium: Unless you have any medical conditions that restrict your sodium intake, don't be afraid to use salt, and even if you feel you need more, drink 1-2 cups of bouillon / stock / broth a day.
High sodium content is also one of the reasons bacon has gained such a bad reputation. To read more about bacon, check out my post: 3 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Fear Bacon. Keep in mind that sodium in bacon is very high and doesn't count as "naturally occurring in food."

Who should consult supplementation with his doctor: those with heart failure or kidney disease.

VERY good article!🙋🏻 Thank you! One other good keto source of magnesium is raw oumpkin seeds! LOL And Himalayan salt gives you all of them, plus the trace elements. 💁🏻♀️

Tess, I went to the site and read the article you actually cut and pasted. What I did want to say is that some people don't take in enough sodium. The fact that people are told that they shouldn't worry isn't always correct. Some people hardly ever purchase packaged food, either in bags or cans. The article was very interesting although I am not on a keto diet. I only wanted to point out that people like me are often low in sodium and need to make a point of adding salt.

Yeah, the Scientific American article was interesting and actually said just about what my cardiologist at the teaching hospital I see has been telling me for the last 5 years or so. 🤷🏻♀️I found it a nice reassurance that she was on point with everything she had been saying and even though I was a diabetic with some heart problems, mine were brought on by too LITTLE sodium!

Yes and thank you.
How you feel is best indicator.
Electrolytes are tricky since not easily monitored on our own and different people tell us different things.

Very interesting Smprowett! Whenever I take my blood pressure it says optimal! There is no reason why it should be and I think that it is because of my low sodium. I will have to ask my doctor to check the sodium one day although I will try hard to eat more, I have Himalayan salt. I know that I get dizzy if I am in a squatting position gardening and I need to stand up.
