  • The #1 Contributor To The Keto Flu Is Dehydration

What Electrolytes Can Do For You On A Ketogenic Diet

Prevent Muscle Cramps

Muscle cramps are a common complaint when eating a high fat ketogenic diet. These may become especially prevalent during and after workouts due to magnesium and potassium depletion.

Prevent Keto Flu Symptoms

In “The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living”, it is recommended we add 2-3 grams of salt (sodium) to our diet daily. This is especially important if you workout or are in a hot climate. An electrolyte drink is a clean and easy way to work towards this goal.

Fatigue

Fatigue is technically a keto flu symptom. However, I think it deserves it's own bullet point. I personally find using this electrolyte drink helps my body stay hydrated and prevents post-exercise fatigue.

This is why I developed this quick DIY electrolyte drink which I drink daily to support my ketogenic diet.
