Why Electrolytes are Critical for Low-Carb Athletes

Proper hydration is critical for optimizing mental and physical performance.

Hydration is not just about drinking enough water - to stay properly hydrated you need to consume adequate electrolytes. They help your nerve impulses fire, regulate fluid balance, help produce energy, and support strong bones.

Why Electrolytes are Critical for Low-Carb Athletes

Proper hydration is critical for optimizing mental and physical performance.

Hydration is not just about drinking enough water - to stay properly hydrated you need to consume adequate electrolytes. They help your nerve impulses fire, regulate fluid balance, help produce energy, and support strong bones.

One article in the Journal of Sport Science reported:

“Vigorous exercise and warm/hot weather induce sweat production, which contains both water and electrolytes. Daily water (4-10 L) and sodium (3500-7000 mg) losses in active athletes during hot weather exposure can induce water and electrolyte deficits…”

When you’re physically active and sweat, replacing lost sodium is essential to feel and perform your best. But many athletes forget about sodium and drink more water when they feel dehydrated - the more common problem for these folks is drinking too much water, not too little. Overwatering dilutes blood sodium levels, causing a dangerous condition called hyponatremia - which can lead to headaches, muscle cramps, and fatigue.

This deficiency increases even more when you follow a low-carb diet - reduced carb intake means no processed foods, which make up 70% of our dietary sodium intake. When you cut these out of the equation, you are likely not getting enough sodium. To add insult to injury, your kidneys excrete even more sodium when your carb intake is low. This is why those with a low-carb lifestyle often complain of unpleasant symptoms like headaches, muscle cramps, and fatigue. For optimal performance, we need to pay attention to electrolyte and mineral intake - and our needs increase even more when we sweat or follow a low-carb diet.

we developed lmnt because we were frustrated with a lack of healthy options on the market.

How I hydrate for peak performance

Whether I’m rolling or doing a MovNat session, I’m constantly moving and sweating throughout the day - which means I need to pay extra attention to my hydration. Unfortunately, our modern day filtered water no longer provides the precious minerals we lose when we sweat.

On top of that, if I’m eating a diet more aligned with our human genetics - low-carb/paleo/animal-based - I have an even greater electrolyte need if I want to optimize my performance.

I use LMNT Recharge whenever I need a boost for my MovNat/Natural Movement or Jiu Jitsu training - it gives me the perfect amount of electrolytes I need to perform my best, without any of the sugar or artificial ingredients my body simply doesn’t need.

I also love that it comes in grab-and-go packets so that I can bring extra with me on all of my travels, hikes, or hunting trips. Water without electrolytes just won't do the trick - LMNT takes my hydration to the next level!

All of their flavors are delicious but my favorites are Citrus Salt and Mango Chili.

WE CREATED LMNT TO SOLVE PROBLEMS.

Problems like insomnia, low energy, headaches, and muscle cramps that many folks have on low-carb, heavy training, or fasting regimens.

It all started when I solved my energy problem. I could hardly believe it, but a lack of sodium had been cramping my mental and physical performance for years. When I ate more salt, not only did my energy skyrocket, but my brain felt sharper than ever.

For years, I would mix up a salty electrolyte blend in my kitchen because nothing on the market could meet my needs (no sugar, no BS ingredients). But I’m a busy guy and mixing homebrews is a pain. I needed a better solution.

So we created LMNT this tasty electrolyte mix with everything you need and nothing you don't (after much trial and error). No sugar, fillers, or other nonsense to interfere with your fast. Just electrolytes in their optimal ratios. Grab a pack of LMNT, mix in your water bottle, and recharge your body.

Stay Salty,
Robb Wolf & The LMNT Team
