hi guys in this video I’m gonna talk

about the importance of salt and a

ketogenic diet and how to get more salt

in your diet when you’re on a keto plan

ok now I know you probably heard that

salt is really bad it’s gonna increase

your blood pressure not actually true if

you’re doing the ketogenic plan that I’m

recommending you’re consuming a

tremendous amount of vegetables with a

lot of potassium or you’re supplementing

with electrolyte has more potassium so

when you do that a lot of times you’re

going to be deficient in sodium okay

because here’s the thing if you’re in a

high carb diet you’re gonna have higher

amounts of insulin and you’re gonna have

more water attention and more sodium

retention when you’re in a low carb low

insulin

you’re gonna release the excess water

and you’re gonna release more sodium

okay so the symptoms of low sodium would

be constipation heart palpitations

headache fatigue weakness even cramps in

the leg okay so those are some things

that you can happen as you transition to

a keto plan as well and you have to

remember to consume more salt in fact

the amount of salt that you need to

consume on a keto plan is about a

teaspoon a day if you’re on a high carb

diet you should only consume about 1/4

of a teaspoon per day because you’re

gonna retain it ok so here’s some good

ideas to increase more salt a Himalayan

salt put it on your vegetables put it on

your food put it on your eggs this is

the best it’s pure it has 74 minerals

don’t use table salt you similarly in a

pink salt salty cheese feta cheese

olives salted butter salted nuts

hummus pickled vegetables those are just

a quick list of some things that I do

but you could there’s many more but the

point is that you need to increase more

sodium on this plan alright thanks for
