Electrolyte questions

How often do I need to take an electrolyte drink? Especially if I’m doing an extended fast. I have started doing OMAD but have recently broken my ankle and am wanting to do a 48 hour fast but don’t want to have any heart related issues bc of electrolyte deficiencies.

I usually break my fast with a Powerade zero or packet with my water. I want to make sure I have my electrolytes but I don’t want to break my fast.

Thanks in advance!

Answer

Hello. Look into LMNT unflavored electrolyte mix. I like powerade zero but honestly it’s too low in electrolytes for extended fasts. You can also add salt to your water and take potassium and magnesium supplements in pill form.
