A lot of people on keto/low carb diets will actually supplement to rehydrate each day with saltwater. However, it’s like 1/2 a teaspoon to 1 gallon, so it’s NOT the same as ocean saltwater, where the concentration is so high your kidneys will fail processing it.
Why do people in ketosis need more electrolytes? It’s because being in that state means your body uses electrolytes much more quickly! Source: was on keto to help with inflammation from an autoimmune disorder. I’d still be on it if being alive wasn’t so goddamn expensive.
