Hello, I’m currently doing an extended water fast but barely on day 2 and I heard a lot that you should put electrolyte supplements into the water to be safe and I just wanted to get some helpful opinions because searching this is very confusing and there’s a lot of mixed opinions.
So are they necessary? And if so, what are good ones that won’t break the fast?
Thank you in advance!
I got the Snake Juice mix.Tried mixing it with water at the suggested levels but couldn’t stand drinking what tasted like sea water.
Started finger dabbing salt onto my tongue and washing down with clean water. Much easier on the taste buds.
After a 5 day fast with that method, found I wasn’t consuming anywhere near the package recommended levels, but also found I wasn’t suffering from any early symptoms of deficiency.
All in all, I haven’t found the perfect solution for electrolytes for myself, but figured I’d share my experience so far.
Won’t currently try any fast over 5-7 days for this reason as electrolytes become more important to get right the longer you go.
My 2c, hope it helps.
