i am on day 12. I generally feel wonderful. But the odd day i just feel beaten down. I have to force myself to eat at this point. I am going to pick up some pottasium/magnesium pills. I do take the bovril but even thats hard to get down some days. I just always feel full. Is this just part of the process. The keto flu?

    Sodium plays a huge part for me. If my balance is off the day before (4500 mg minimum recommended the first month or so during adaption), I need a decent amount the following day. But yes, electrolytes triggering the so-called flu or too few calories the day before or dehydration in general... Just a few ideas.

    Thanks. I have been keeping my water up. Guess i need to force the broth down I cannot believe my lack of appetite. Other than this listless feeling on days like today i feel wonderful. Thanks for your input.

    I am so OVER broth, but I love pan drippings. Mainly I try to make sure I salt my food decently. And I have some pink himalayan crystals I can toss in my mouth (swallow whole if I want) rather than deal with broth lately. LOL

    It's just the salt you put in a grinder. My Walmart carries a brand of it...you can get it at most any grocer these days. Or off Amazon. I don't know what the best quality is, but I'm dying to get some Celtic Grey Sea Salt, too, to mix up my salting. All the different salts include different minerals.

    Ok, thanks. I have sea salt in a grinder I use from Costco. I guess thats similar.

    They also have the pink Himalayan salt at Costco (in the grinder)!
