Headaches, low energy, sleeplessness, why is fasting so hard?

I hear from many people who quit fasting because they’re suffering from symptoms like headaches, muscle cramps, and low energy. But if they had the proper electrolyte support, they might have felt better and stuck with it. Although a very effective dietary strategy, fasting depletes sodium levels like nothing else.

Headaches, low energy, sleeplessness, why is fasting so hard?

I hear from many people who quit fasting because they’re suffering from symptoms like headaches, muscle cramps, and low energy. But if they had the proper electrolyte support, they might have felt better and stuck with it. Although a very effective dietary strategy, fasting depletes sodium levels like nothing else.

The reason why? When you fast, your insulin levels drop, and you release more sodium through urine. This “natriuresis” of fasting can cause sodium deficiency.

This is why those who fast often complain of unpleasant symptoms such as headaches, low energy, and sleeplessness. And if we sweat or follow a low-carb diet on top of that, our electrolyte needs increase even more. The good news is, it’s a simple fix: fix the sodium and you fix the symptoms.

How I Stay Hydrated While Fasting

To feel your best while fasting, it’s important to stay properly hydrated. This means consuming adequate water AND electrolytes.

The problem is that most electrolyte drinks are loaded with unnecessary sugar and other questionable ingredients. That’s why LMNT is my go-to electrolyte drink.

To feel your best while fasting, it’s important to stay properly hydrated. This means consuming adequate water AND electrolytes.

The problem is that most electrolyte drinks are loaded with unnecessary sugar and other questionable ingredients. That’s why LMNT is my go-to electrolyte drink.

LMNT has the ideal ratio of electrolytes with no sugar, no coloring, or other questionable ingredients. I love using the raw unflavored LMNT during my fast, and then I enjoy the flavored electrolytes during my feeding window. LMNT is the perfect drink for replacing electrolytes both during my fasted and feeding times.

For anyone who is fasting, or simply wants to be better hydrated throughout the day, I highly recommend giving LMNT a try. It’s my go-to!

WE CREATED LMNT TO SOLVE PROBLEMS.

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, LMNT Recharge was born.

Stay Salty,
Robb Wolf & The LMNT Team
