As a keto mentor and meal planner, I understand that keto flu can make you want to give up - especially since I’ve been there before. Headaches, muscle cramps, and low energy sound like pretty good reasons to quit. But more often than not, the keto flu is a simple case of sodium deficiency and once you dial in your electrolyte intake those unpleasant symptoms disappear.

There are a few reasons keto folks need more sodium:
This combination is the cause of those dreaded keto flu symptoms that plague so many folks with a keto lifestyle. The good news is if you stay the course and add enough sodium to your daily intake, you can avoid these unpleasant side effects.

Since starting my keto journey in March 2017, I have learned a ton of lessons along the way (some real tough ones too!).
Something I wish I had known earlier is how important it is to replenish your electrolytes. At the start of my journey, I focused way too much on my food intake - I later realized that also paying attention to hydration made me way more successful on my keto diet - and helped me overcome the keto flu.

For the proper hydration and eliminating the keto flu, I absolutely love LMNT. I know it can help my community avoid making the same mistakes I did. It’s perfect for preventing or treating keto flu, helps with headaches, leg cramps, and fatigue, keeps you hydrated, and a whole lot more. LMNT replaces the sodium, potassium, and magnesium I lose with all the water my body flushes out. Adding a delicious packet to my own daily routine has been an absolute game-changer!
LMNT Recharge was developed by Robb Wolf and his Ketogains coaches to provide a zero-sugar, tasty electrolyte drink for those with a keto/low-carb lifestyle.
We developed LMNT Recharge because we were frustrated with the lack of healthful electrolyte products on the market. We were fielding questions daily from people in our communities struggling to get adequate electrolytes, but could not recommend anything on the market.
The hard truth is that available electrolyte products are high in sugar and woefully lacking in actual electrolytes. Based on the latest nutritional science, getting adequate electrolytes through these products equates to over 100 grams of added sugar per day. We don’t think anyone needs this amount of sugar.
For years our recommended solution was to buy electrolytes in bulk and make your own electrolyte home-brews. After spending too many hours meticulously measuring and mixing our own electrolyte homebrews and getting stopped by airport security one too many times for carrying dozens of baggies full of white powder, LMNT Recharge was born.
Stay Salty,
