Electrolytes - how to get 'em?

[ketolobolo]

I’m new-ish to keto. I’m 3 days in and suspect my electrolytes are low because of how dizzy I feel, especially when getting up. It might also be a glucose crash. I have extreme fatigue and when I sleep, I’m nearly comatose, lol.

I can’t find electrolytes without some form of sugar in them. I found a kids drink that has dextrose, but from what I read, worry that dextrose will act like carbs, so I haven’t had any of it.

I’ve been putting sea salt, stevia, and lemon in water and drinking stupid amounts of it.

How do you get your electrolytes without taking in any sugar or sugar substitutes?

I personally add a product like “lite salt” to some water, add a sugar free flavor and drink. The product I use has potassium and sodium, so if I drink a few of these a day, I have no more symptoms of electrolytes imbalance. I also add a magnesium tablet in the evening. If I don’t do this, I end up with headaches and other unpleasant symptoms.

It is very important that you check with your doctor before consuming Lite Salt, as it contains potassium. Do not over consume Lite Salt! I normally only drink two bottles of KetoAide a day and only add 1/4 teaspoon Lite Salt to each bottle. Do not supplement this with additional teaspoons of Lite Salt! That’s too much potassium! Again check with your physician before consuming Lite Salt. [image] [image] 290 mg sodium 350 mg potassium 75 mg magnesium

I use Nuun tablets. I buy them in bulk off Amazon. Gives your water a hint of taste without it being too sweet
