Contrary to Keto, does this apply

OMG. Thank you for telling me that. I didn’t know that was possible, collapsing, etc. Yeah, I have just come to realize that a lot of people fear salt, so that the people starting Keto probably have to be encouraged to eat more of it. What I have gotten out of it is that in losing a lot of water weight we are constantly peeing out salt, that we need to replenish? Or something like that. But the constant peeing stopped for me at week three, I drink a lot of water but it isn’t the pee every five minutes like at first. Yes, I’m going to tone it down somewhat. Just the blowfish by afternoon effect should tell me to put on the brakes.

Yeah, exactly, but I have never feared salt

And I figure too, that after the water weight loss has stopped, electrolytes (and salt is one of the electrolytes which is why it also affects the muscles including the heart muscle) should be relatively balanced.

However, it does seem that when producing lots of ketones, the kidneys do flush out a bit more salt than with a SAD diet.

In my case, cos I’m TOFI, I had no water weight to lose!

This is a Livestrong article. I wrote thousands of them( no exaggeration) a few years back, for Demand Studios, and believe me, nothing but the “party line” on nutrition ever made it through editing. I did not write this one, however, lol. I’m an RN, and in the later years they were looking to hire health professionals, but everything still had to made it through editing, so only the most commonly accepted, innocuous info got published.

Thank you for an insider’s report!!!

Yes, telling me to eat more salt is like telling an alcoholic to drink more! Just didn’t put it together that I was eating the high end of Keto salt recommendations BEFORE I started Keto. So that amount got doubled after Keto. I actually just started paying attention to it in the last couple of days.

You’re welcome lol. I always cringe a little when someone posts a Livestrong article, fearing it might be one of mine! The writersI knew all did their best, but our hands were really tied on what we could actually say. I tried to get some of my own opinions on low carb in— keto really wasn’t a thing then.

That’s so funny

I feel for you!

This is extremely insightful, and illustrates how the CW works (sigh). I have pretty much given up reading articles like this after doing my keto research. It is clear that if the CW is so wrong on this, it is likely to be wrong on so much else as well. So it’s back to n=1.
