[QUOTE="td13, post: 2331400, member: 531739"] I am doing keto to lose weight and belly fat in hope of reversing steroid induced diabetes. Recent Hb1AC showed I had got into pre-diabetic range and scales show 14kg weight decline. Only serious problem was that defecation had become a disaster. Keto constipation proved resistant to any amount of green vegetables, psyllium (yuck), oat bran (double yuck), MTC oil, senokot max etc. Knowing I had been low on potassium during a recent hospital admission I read up on it and added some and then, in fear and trembling, added magnesium citrate. Hurrah! Yippee! Within 2 days normal service was delivered. Like Mafeking much relieved...I note that minor wibbly wobbly attacks walking have also disappeared. I think the extra urination symptomatic of diabetes depletes the 3 electrolytes you mention. As for salt - who can eat a salad or an egg without salt? Stock cubes contain it as does soy sauce and bacon etc. So that one needs no supplement. [/QUOTE]
