(Jose Rodriguez) #1

Ive lost 35 pounds since jan 1rst.
Doing things as close to perfection as possible.
Ill do carbs once a week max without guilt. But the reason behind this post is for the last week of so im noticing a slight headache that it lingers all day long and i feel pressure in my head mostly my ears and my eyes at times. Im worried.

Well, to begin with, congrats! I started when you did and am down 45 lbs! I started to have the headaches you’re talking about two weeks ago. I was also super fatigued. Turns out my electrolytes were low. I started eating 1/2 tablespoon of salt a day, chased by a pint of water. About 2 days later I was almost back to normal. If I were you start with your salt intake.

I eat salty, i get my sea salt from chipotle restaurant, i will see what other ways i can get my electrolytes up also.

I agree, my headaches were all about salt and electrolytes, don’t forget magnesium as well.

From what I’ve read, eating salty foods is not enough to get the electrolytes your body needs. Must…drink…ketoade! Or something like it.

Exactly. I eat salty n it’s not enough. This headaches n blurry vision is scary.

Oh no! There’s a simple recipe for ketoaide somewhere in the forum. Just type ketoaide recipe in the search and it will pop up. Water, lite salt and a bottle of magnesium citrate is all you need.
