I have been on keto for 8 days. Today I got the KFlu. I needed something quick so my daughter went out and got me some BAI. Is BAI good alternative to the actual Keto Electrolytes? Or what other product can I get at a store that is better? Before my Keto order comes.
Also, what are your thoughts on Powerade zero sugar sports drink?
Thank you.
Salt is the easiest electrolyte to fix, and when we get enough salt, it helps keep the others properly regulated. If you keep your salt intake a bit higher, that should do the trick, right there.
Ok. Thanks. I have put salt in my lemon water. But are your thoughts on the other products?
Poison.
Plane water is the best sport drink.
Stay away from Coca-cola company products 
Donât know what âBAIâ is, so canât comment. Redmondâs Real Salt and Himalayan pink salt are excellent sources of sodium chloride because they both contain lots of trace minerals. Frenchâs No Salt is an excellent source of potassium and epsom salt magnesium. As noted if you up your sodium you may not need to increase potassium and/or magnesium, depending what youâre eating. In my opinion.
Sorry you have the keto flu! If you follow the advice the other members have given, it should go away soon.
Bai is made from fruit juices, âcoffeefruit,â erythritol, and stevia. Not really a good choice for keto, and probably too many carbs (depending on which flavor you get). Better to get your âless than 20 carbsâ from vegetables.
First let me say the you all have given has been helpful. Getting much better. The information on this forum is very useful. Thanks.
Iâm not contradicting anyone on here. This is what I found.
I hope image shows up. If not look at the website.
Thanks again. I am a newbie and have a lot of questions. But trying.
Hi Richard, there are many different versions and opinions about keto, whatâs allowed, whatâs harmful, etc., so there is sure to be some disagreement. I donât think many people on this forum drink fruit-based drinks, or most commercially sold drinks â whether zero calorie or not. People with certain health issues, or certain lifestyles (e.g., weight lifters), might have different needs.
We each have to figure these things out for ourselves. Best wishes.
Nothing wrong with Powerade Zero man, I drink a handful of them daily. Youâll find there are many⌠letâs go with purists⌠that basically hate everything here. Iâve tried the Bai drinks and theyâre fine but also unneeded. Theyâre basiicaly just the same thing as Gatorade zero with a lot of trigger words on them for the same types that pay $6 for âcucumber waterâ. They do have some electrolytes in them but like Gatorade not enough to matter.
I drink them because I like them, no mainstream electrolyte drink actually has enough of anything in it to fix keto flu symptoms. 1/4tsp sea salt, shoot it down and youâre good for the day. You can also do lite salt which is a sodium/potassium mix.
Thank you to everyone who replied.The information was helpful and money saving.
I see by looking at the dates that I am little late to the party. But, I am sure THANKFUL that this forum (or the party) is still up, going and active. Thanks again.
p.s. I still have a lot of questions. HAHA
By all means feel free to continue with a thread about a topic you are interested in, regardless of the dates. In contrast to other sites, these forums encourage continuing old threads in preference to starting new ones. The Dudes like to have all the information in one place, as much as possible.
Salt and potassium. Of course there is no potassium in those commercial drinks because it tastes like poo-poo. (No useful amounts anyway.)
I would distinguish between electrolytes and trace elements. The latter are much more complicated and should be added only if youâre deficient.
