@RalfLott, thank you for the short vid. It correlates with what I've read in his book, and elsewhere. I just wish he'd focus on those who are hypertensive in the vid, and how to safely increase, but then there would be many variables there. But he did say moderate, so I think keeping track of my pressures and all of my lytes will help. I'll leave the rest up to my PCP (with my input, of course).1

Yes, I can see your point. As you've figured out, they're are a ton of individual variations with BP, as with other key metrics.
With your level of engagement, you should be able to stay on top of things.
I haven't found myself to be a very good n=1 scientist, as my self-experiments often defy reproduction..... Hrrmmph.
Knocking on wood, however, I haven't noticed any increase in BP since I started keto. It's stayed fairly steady around 90-115/60-70 on 40mg of Lisinopril (recently switched to Ramipril for reputed CVD prevention...), regardless of sodium intake.0 -
So does the recommended salt intake of 3000 to 5000 mg a day while enjoying keto make any difference when considering the total amount of calories someone takes in in a day?1
