Wierd sweat question😏

(Jenny Andersson Ilgenfritz) #1

So I’m am two weeks into the Keto diet, doing great, 9 lbs down. I am feeling like I am dragging a bit which is to be expected. Yesterday I was out doing some yard work and sweating like a beast, sweat dripping down my face when I noticed that my sweat was not tasting salty at all, wierd right? Am I not getting enough salt?

It could be the increased sweat has depleted you of salt more than usual. The ‘dragging a bit’ feeling can also be salt related. I’ve also found my taste buds have changed a little regarding salt, but that could just be me getting old. :wink:

Thank Carol! Maybe my tastebuds have changed lol. I was just googling my question to and one article did say that sweat that is tasteless means that your sodium balance is just right, no excess sodium to sweat out. Seems wierd, I thought sweat was always salty, has been for me anyway.

I’m not sure how you’d tell the difference between ‘no excess sodium’ and not enough sodium that way?

Yeah, you’re right about that one.

The must be coming from a POV where salt should be minimized.
