Currently doing 23 hour fasts (day 3), one hour eating window, and keto (5g carb intake max). already feeling the benefits with increased energy levels, less bloating although suffering from mild headaches with what i imagine are ‘keto flu’ symptoms based on the above.
I want to ensure my electrolytes (if this is a contributor) are all in order so my questions are…
What is the best way to manage?
When is the best time?
How much and how frequent?
Will i feel the benefit drastically?
Or will/is this feeling due to lack of carbs or the fasting?
ORRRR….
Do i just shut up as non of this related.
Thanks in advance
James
Answer
I’m not an expert, but I’ve never felt the need to drink electrolytes in OMAD. I get enough from my meals.
Your body’s probably just adjusting to IF and Keto, especially if you’re used to eating multiple times a day with a ton of carbs and sugar.
Answer
I use DrinkLMNT.com packets. Not the cheapest but I like them. I drink one most every day at around 16-18 hours on my way to 20 or so. Maybe it technically breaks the fast but I don’t care - it’s 10 calories and I am at goal weight.
Good luck on your journey!
