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?
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 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 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...
Hi folks. For convenience I figured I'd get the ratios of the ingredients and make up a jar of powder to scoop from to easily and quickly make snake juice. The only problem I see with this is that the...
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...
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 cannot find epsom salts in stores that the online recipe calls for. Is nusalt, magnesium and pink salt enough or am I setting myself up for failure without edible epsom salt? If not what would be the appropriate amount...

When water fasting longer than 4 days many recommend vitamins or electrolyte what is technically needed while going on a 15+ day fast ? I’ve heard you need pink salt, potassium, vinegar and how much of each on a daily...
Hey guys, im new to this sub. Im 5 hours from finishing my first two days. My goal is to hit 14 days and see how my body feels and if i can continue on to 21. I have been...
just a quick question so i dont ruin my fast.
Hi, so I’ve just come across this sub, after having been fasting for about 10 days now. After a few days fasting I noticed twitches in my arms by maybe day four. Along with a little head cloud every now...
It’s been a couple of years since I had Snake Juice, and I know Cole has refined the recipe a few times. So, what’s the latest?
Thanks in advance to anyone who reads this and/or has any advice. I decided on a whim to try my first ever prolonged (water) fast recently. I’ve been eating essentially one meal a day for a long time now, so going...

(F/32/5’6 SW: 230 CW: 221 GW: 145) I didn’t want to say anything until I had finished; long time lurker first time poster and you see so many “hour one of my first 96 hour fast!” and then you never hear...
I fast 36 hours per week consistently (early dinner Sunday, late breakfast Tuesday). This has worked well for me and after getting used to them I find them easy. The last few months I let myself go a little. I'm not...
I’m curious, what do you all think about this concoction? It’s supposedly great for long term fasting as it replenishes your electrolytes. I’m on the fence about using it myself. Something about pure water seems “right”, but then again, I...
Update: broke my fast 8hrs later than initially intended with an apple and a protein shake this morning. Currently enjoying a nice salad with chicken and avocado for lunch before I fly off to see family. Feeling great and thinking...

Right I am only on day two of snake juice and I can already tell its something I am not going to like long term. Being over 40% bf I am in the fat fucker category so will need to...
How necessary is consuming salt and how much should I intake? I’ve done shorter fast before and have had problems with nausea and headaches.
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...
Has anyone dissolved the salts into carbonated water? I bought some flavorless sparkling water that already had some sodium, potassium, and magnesium in it. I thought, "what the hell, let's add some more!" I added ½ teaspoon of pink salt and ½...
It’s my day 2 of my water fast and I’m experiencing a severe headache and pain or pressure behind my eyes. I’ve tried adding pink salt to my water but to no avail. Any advice?
Ask any simple question you like, nothing is too stupid. Here is a nice writeup from Dr. Fung about the history of fasting and some general pointers and guidelines. I encourage anyone to read it. https://idmprogram.com/fasting-a-history-part-i/

I was a vitamin freak before I started fasting, but I feel they are even more beneficial while I'm snaking. They give me the peace of mind that I'm...
Hello Beautiful people, I hope everyone is doing well and sticking to their routine. Continuing from my [*previous pos*t](https://www.reddit.com/r/fasting/comments/zftw2q/doing_a_30_day_water_fasting_and_just_crossed_the/) where I mentioned that I have embarked on a 30-day water fasting. **I successfully completed the first 7 days last night and...
I'm one week into a water fast that, at the moment, I plan on going as long as I can. I'm taking a magnesium supplement, a multivitamin, a B-vitamin, my regular prescribed meds (adderall, lexapro, doxepin, xanax), the occasional tylenol,...

Nothing too stupid to ask, please feel free.
Hey fellow snake dieters! Just wanted to share as it’s been a game changer for me with longer fasts. Hot snake juice is amazing! I boil water and add the proper amount of salts to 16oz of hot water and it...

I have recently started personally experimenting with different fasts and protocols after reading and seeing the science and benefits prominently discussed. However, my wife is skeptical. I have been able to share with her many reputable sources which discuss the many...
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..

Just salt on everyday or just after the second? And is pink Himalayan salt ok for 3 days?
Started at 260 lbs, 6’ 2. My goal is 210; then, depending on how I feel and look, possibly 190. I don’t “look” “fat” even now (I have strong legs and a naturally good shape, and lots of meat under...

Salt. Simple right? I guess not… So, you need salt/electrolytes while fasting. I’ve used pink Himalayan salt for years and used to love it. That is until I heard it contained lead and other heavy metals. Nope. Well, when it came time to...
I have tried 16:8, lasted less than a week. Tried 12:12 multiple times but crash and burn after 1 day. I keep thinking I should ease into it but that was the 12:12 and that has never stuck more than...
Our bodies need salt. Salt was so in demand back in the day that people were paid their salaries in salt (hence where the term 'salaries' came from). Yes, part of this was to preserve food at the time but...
I want to fast mainly for concentration and self-discipline, which I've seen people say that those effects kick in about 3 days into a fast. I can easily do 24 hours of fasting, but it gets significantly harder after that....
I'm currently fasting from food and I'm curious how much water I should I be drinking? What are people's thoughts on this?
What are the **substitutes you guys use? ........I can't find NuSalt, Red mill, and food-grade Epsom Salt**
I feel lazy asking what has certainly been asked here before, but I've seen varied responses and would like to pin it down a bit better: Is electrolyte supplementation necessary for 3 day fasts? I've seen people berated for skipping supplements...
