The electrolytes saved me from giving up on fasting.
I had all sorts of problems when I went even eight hours without eating or drinking. I was sore tired and miserable. I started drinking the electrolytes and i felt like I could go on for days. I would take a couple of gulps every couple of hours. I didn’t like it at first but reminded myself I had been eating things in brine for years.
The taste isn’t pleasing but it helps. Treat it like medicine.
I put \~1/2 tsp of Mortons lite salt in a two liter of water. I’ll also add magnesium carbonate (natural calm brand) if I feel like it. It’s tastes like mineral water.
Snake juice is disgusting and I don’t know why anyone would drink it.
Stur is a brand of water enhancers that has Stevia and won’t break any fast. I put Mortons lite salt in everything I drink. You can also do herbal teas. Pickle juice is also great when you need a pick me up!
I can’t do cold salty drinks. They make me vomit. So to change this up I have powdered miso soup. Just one per day (its 32 calories). Then I take a powdered multivit (no flav, sugar, or calories) supplement with a squeeze of lemon (potassium) with a quarter tablespoon of cream of tartar and I have a magnesium supplement in liquid form before bed. I did a five day water fast without these and it was fine, however, since I am fasting more regularly (for long) I think this is the best option for me. Cold salty drinks will not go down my throat so this is the best I can do!
