Gross question but could use crowdsource

Hi everybody,

Been doing this diet for well over a year and think it has changed my life for the better. So it is a permanent change for me.

Anyway, I have noticed recently that I get loose bowel movements (like diarrhea but not painful) immediately following dinner. I can only come up with I am taking in an unusually high level of salt at these meals. Usually it’s on the weekends and I have a huge steak and make a pan sauce to go with it.

Anybody else notice too much salt causes this? Or am I way off? Everyday I have a salad for lunch except weekends. I normally only eat dinner on weekends.

I have struggled with constipation on Keto, and everyone suggested to me to increase my salt, so I have done this dramatically. It hasn’t really helped for that yet.

(You've tried everything else; why not try bacon?) #3

You’re talking not really diarrhea, but very loose and messy? Yeah, I get that too, when I overindulge in the salt. Cut back a bit, and you’ll be fine.
