From the reading I've done on the LCHF diet, my understanding is that it's important to drink lots of water, also to have some salt daily on the LCHF diet.
How long do I need to do this? At the start of the diet only? Or for the entire time I'm on the diet?
Also, how do I know how much salt is needed?
For now, I'm dissolving an 1/8 teaspoon of salt into a cup of hot water and drinking it once a day. While I'm eating some processed foods - (butter; FAGE, 2% fat, unsweetened yogurt; a variety of cheeses; bacon; and ham) - I'm not eating much so adding some salt daily makes sense to me.
