Just curious what people's experience has been with Pink Himalayan vs Table Salt. My wife is on a Pink Himalayan Salt kick so it's all I have in the house. Did you notice a difference?
If someone's trying to be health conscious and drink more water, but they keep peeing it all out, even when drinking less than recommended amount, would drinking sole water, or even fruit infused water help create electrolytes to retain the...
I bought Pepper Creek Farms Himalayan Pink Sea Salt before it occurred to me that "Himalayan Sea Salt" is probably not a thing. It's either one or the other. Am I right about this? Now I am skeptical. Is there...
Hey everyone, I’ve decided to begin my water fast, I bought everything I need which is water, pink salt, and apple cider vinegar. But what I’m having trouble with is that I don’t know how much salt I need. Do...
I have doing IF for about 2.5 weeks now. (F51)- I totally get the benefits of it although I was hoping I would be dropping weight faster, but I recently battled breast cancer and just stopped taking hormones. So I...
I see recommendations for taking salt during a fast to replenish electrolytes and is the fast, but is there a healthier alternative?
Can you use regular iodized table salt for electrolytes while fasting? Will it break a fast?
[removed]
I’ve been supplementing electrolytes using table salt, no salt, and magnesium supplements. My understanding was that iodized table salt is best, so you’re still getting some iodine on a fast. I recently came across [this video](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FXdpYjp812o) from Dr. Berg saying that...

I do so because of a little more Sodium (+1/3) and because Himalayan doesn’t have any iodine in it, which is an essential nutrient. I saw that everyone uses Himalayan in the recipe of Snake Juice..

I bought morton salt for potassium and sodium. 1tbsp into 2lt water. but it taste horrible. should I add lemon? how do you do it?
Looking for ways to have some potassium during my next fast. Lots of what I'm seeing here are American, are there any Canadians with alternatives to these (unless they are actually Canadian too, and I'm stupid)?

Hi! Is normal iodized table salt okay to drink or should I use a different kind? Thanks!
Forgive me if i sound dumb but I already suffer from high blood pressure and i was wondering does [No Salt](https://www.walmart.com/ip/NoSalt-Original-Sodium-Free-Salt-Alternative-11-oz/37233033) raises blood pressure. I need my potassium!

Ive been freezing my electrolyte mixture into little pill size balls so that I can quickly and easily swallow them. It has made getting my daily electrolytes so much less of a pain.
If I fast from 8pm-12pm and wake up at 7am, for those 5 hours how much salt should I be adding to my water?
Hey. Im not finding a good balance with salts... I do omad 23/1. At 1000-1500 kcals(183cm/78kg m 26). Today i craved cabanos, tuna and other salty foods. When i broke my 23h fast I found an increase in energy from these high...
Heard it solves the electrolyte problem for shorter fasts. So I was wondering if 5 days is not pushing it. Don't think so but I'm asking anyway. Also reccomended quantity?
Hey guys! I have a very hard time drinking water with salt while water fasting. I just can't stand the taste. In search for a solution, I came up with this question: Can you just eat your different types of salts in small...
Im thinking it doesnt. Right? I feel as if the chilli is insignificant
When we fast, we up the salt, because our kidneys stop holding on to water, right? So, how many calories does our body need before that happends? Is there a magic number or percentage of body weight?

I’m trying to do research online, and I figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask here as well.
I’m somewhat new to fasting and was wondering if I could drink salt water all throughout the day or should I just do a shot of ACV. Also open to new ways to getting electrolytes. Im in college and just...
We're talking only one pill from each, and a teaspoon of salt, in the span of a couple of minutes. I know we should space out supplements for the whole day but what about only one pill from each basically...
How much salt and electrolytes are necessary when drinking 5L of water a day? Does creatine effect electrolytes? Hydration? I want to find the sweet spot where I don't feel thirsty or pee a lot.
PS - I had done a 15 day fast with the three electrolytes but still felt fatigue and palpitations. Thinking of changing my source.
From what I have read, the fat in nuts in general has been found to be good for you. https://i.imgur.com/EyE3opX.jpg
I don't really enjoy salt water, but I really do like to eat salt on its own - literally just wetting my finger and licking it off. Is this fine to do?
For example, if a serving of food has 100mg of sodium, is that the same as weighing out 100mg of table salt or does the weight of the chlorine atom in each molecule need to be subtracted? Also, is kosher...

I can't work out which is the bigger culprit; carbs or salt.

i know salt is a vital nutrient in our diet - but do all the salts have the same nutritional compounds? is himalayan pink salt as good as sea salt is as good as regular Morton’s table salt?
I have seen statements all over that exogenous ketone salts are supposed to bring you into ketosis faster, increase blood ketones, increase performance, improve general health and what not. But is there really any conclusive science behind it, or just...
I often see online people say that less salt / sodium is healthier. For example, [this Reddit post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Health/comments/qxhfq6/reducing_sodium_and_increasing_potassium_may/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share).

I was going to get Dr bergs electrolytes but it’s pretty expensive just like LMNT and it just doesn’t make sense if I’ll be using them 1-2x a day. I started getting back into fasting and I’m feeling lethargic so I...

I’ve realized that a tea of hot water, lemon, and sea salt seems to curb my hunger during the fasting period. Is it still “safe” to have this during fasting? I know folks have clear vegetable broth during...
I'm currently at hour 38. Not feeling hunger, drinking plenty of fluids and also salt water to balance my electrolytes. I had done 3 day fast 3 months ago, and now I want to do it again but this time...
I saw an ad for this drink supplement called LMNT where it claims to have nearly 1G of salt a day. Does anyone take this much sodium or drink this supplement.
I'm about to do my first 7 day fast. I've seen conflicting stuff on taking supplements or sticking to literally just water. What's the science?

What are you thoughts on doing a salt flush before an extended dry fast of 7+ days? Would it be a good idea? Why or why not ?
Is this normal? Last meal I had was yesterday at 4:30pm. Before drinking 800ml of lemon water with salts, my glucose was at 101 and 20 mins after drinking it I was at 109.
If my caloric maintenance is 2700 calories, why should I be held to the same standard of ~2g per day? This means that each meal I have will have less salt and I have to be incredibly judicious. Please, say...
How bad of an idea is this? Dry fasting and depleting the water from your system by drinking salty water. The point being to enter ketosis faster The thing about Dry fasting that I like is - 1. RAPID KETOSIS, max 24 hours....

As an alternative to gagging down some snakejuice I think it may be preferable to consume electrolytes through tablets such as the following: 4x 1 gram sodium chloride tablets (394 mg of sodium) [such as this](https://www.amazon.com/Safrel-Sodium-Chloride-Tablets-15-4gr/dp/B091NKB9ZG) 24x 99 mg potassium caplets [such...

I read the lethal dose of salt is .3-3g of salt per kg of body weight… for someone 75kg, that’s 22.5-225g of salt, what makes someone more tolerant to sodium? There’s so many other chemicals or minerals, or vitamins than...

Bunch of questions, would appreciate some insight: 1) Does the proportion of sodium to other stuff like magnesium/potassium/calcium/etc. matter? Is 86% sodium better/worse/the same as 99.8%? 2) If the package doesn't specify what else is in it besides sodium (e.g. 95% sodium,...
