[QUOTE="AtkinsMo, post: 1249814, member: 104933"] On any Ketogenic diet you need to up your fluids and up your salt. This is because a LCHF diet has a diuretic effect. If you don't up fluids and up Sodium you end up Potassium deficient because the body hangs on to Sodium and excretes Potassium instead in urine. The healthiest thing to do is to make home made bone broth, well salted with natural grey sea salt (which contains loads of minerals - I always think of it as the seagull ****) there are loads of recipes on the Internet, but basically you roast bones, add loads of veg and water and a slug of cider vinegar and natural sea salt and you simmer for ages. The resulting stuff is full of vitamins and minerals and will provide you with the salt you need, the fluid you need and you will feel better. The other alternative is to drink a stock cube dissolved in boiling water twice a day - oxo works for me. When you first change over to a Ketogenic diet you should lay off strenuous exercise for 2-3weeks then build it back up gradually. Your body has to change from glucose burning to ketone burning. I think that the stated side effects of a Ketogenic diet (posted earlier) are utter rubbish, I have been on a Ketogenic diet for in excess of 5 years and I have not felt so well for decades before. The Ketogenic diet cured my GERD, normalised my blood pressure, improved my sleep patterns, reduced my arthritis pain. I am now drug free - apart from anti-coagulants, I had a DVT and I do wonder if that was linked to dehydration - I wasn't always the best at drinking fluids and I struggle with it even now, I just forget. Give it another try, increase fluids and salt and cut back on physical activities for 2 - 3 weeks, that's my advice. [/QUOTE]
