It's my opinion that you're better off to supplement potassium than try to get it from diet sports drinks. They really don't have very much so you'd have to drink several a day just to get what you could from a few shakes of NuSalt in a small cup of broth, and that doesn't come with aspartame... If you're concerned about msg in boullion, you can make your own broth or just use some NuSalt on foods and take s sodium tablet instead. If you get in the habit of supplementing, you'll have consistent levels. I think that's less likely to happen just by trying to get it in food. Especially when you're talking about magnesium. You'd have to eat a lot of dark green vegetables, grown specifically on land where the soil is treated properly. Much easier to take a mag citrate (or any of the "-ates" version of magnesium) tablet.
As far as exercise, you can do whatever type you want. If you're not already in any routine, you're not likely to notice weather or not you have any less energy from adaptation. There wouldn't be anything to compare it against. But, if you ever feel lightheaded or just suddenly exhausted more than you think is expected from the amount of effort you're putting forth, then usually, sodium is the answer.
Some things to know about adding exercise are that anytime you work your muscles, you can have some water retention due to the inflammation for a few days that is likely to add a few pounds. But it's just temporary water for your muscles to heal. Don't let that deter you at all. And, exercising extensively, really isn't going to create any more weight loss than a 30 minutes a coupe times a week routine would. Somewhere it was posted that showed exercise beyond about 30 minutes didn't produce more loss because, it typically triggered more hunger.
I know I also listened to a couple podcasts on this subject. Check out Jimmy Moore's website if you want to look for that.0 -

Anyway, you put your coffee, CO and butter into a large cup and blend with an immersion blender or use a nutri bullet type blender to break up and mix in the fats and it produces a delicious, frothy cup of heaven that will have you feeling full and energized til lunch time.
Hmm, any reason I couldn't try Keto tea? I'd even put a splash of HWC in it for some creaminess. I'll have to try that this weekend.0 -
Sure! Tea is another great option for a "bulletproof" beverage. So is broth or hot cocoa.Sunny_Bunny_ wrote: »

Definitely. I drink tea, have never drunk coffee. Or you could replace tea with protein powder, I use chocolate or peanut butter, so delicious!0 -

I do all my stuff with tea. Here are some blogs I wrote about it last year. Trying an egg in it (hot enough to kill the bacteria, but makes the egg creamy like custard) is awesome for an option, too...
