Dehydration Associated with LCHF

It seems that the “flu” has gone this morning.

I think many supermarkets now stock the Himalayan salt, but you can also try eBay or Amazon.

Re minerals,you may well need to watch potassium (which you've mentioned) and magnesium as well as your salt intake, as kidneys will probably be flushing out more of these minerals with extra fluid you wee. .Ckeck Google for vegetables (mainly green) that are high in these two minerals - there are actually better low carb sources than our bananas as I discovered! You'll find that many foods recommended for low carb eating also include their own built-in solutions to possible issues.( e.g. @Rachox's seeds!)

PS I've always used a fair bit of salt,but low carbing has actually reduced my blood pressure too, regardless.

Thanks. I have tried to avoid salt for a number of years now upon recommendation. It has become a habit.

Point noted about the vegetables. We had a meat and vedge stew last night cooked in th slow cooker so that will have helped.

Also point noted about the low car bing reducing blood pressure.

Another noteworthy point in passing. I found that in recent years that flatulence had crept up on me. Amazingly it has taken a nosedive with a lower carb higher fat diet. Does that make sense? Googling on the internet seems to confirm this.
