How do you long term zero-carb folks keep your electrolytes balanced? How do you know they’re getting imbalanced? Or depleted? What’s the difference? What about kidney stones or other problems from maybe over-supplementing something?
I’ve searched the forums and seen @FrankoBear’s thread about controlling afib with magnesium and salt - fascinating. Sounds like some people retain electrolytes by adding a few carbs, but some people need the high ketones - but high ketones seem to make water flush right through.
After a year of keto, I got weak and faint. Salt, lite salt, mg citrate, and ACV fixed me right up, which I had never tried before.
More recently, almost 3 years in now, I have been on Gabapentin for nighttime foot aches/peripheral neuropathy. When it stopped working, I swapped that for magnesium glycinate and spray instead and - wow, in a week’s time, months of pain is almost gone. Coincidence?
How is “balance” achieved long term? Please, pass on the wisdom.
