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.

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 adapting a ketogenic lifestyle over ten years ago, my health has dramatically improved - more mental clarity and reduced inflammation are just two of the highlights on a long list of benefits. But it wasn’t exactly smooth sailing from the start.

The biggest challenge I faced early on was not getting enough electrolytes. I didn’t realize how much extra sodium and potassium my body really needed to support my low-carb lifestyle. I struggled with the typical keto flu symptoms: low energy, headaches, and poor sleep. Once I finally dialed in my electrolytes, I felt way better.
These days, LMNT Recharge is my go-to electrolyte drink - it’s zero-sugar and contains the optimal ratio of sodium, potassium, and magnesium to support my keto lifestyle. I have one packet each morning to kickstart my day before I journal and meditate. I always recommend it to anyone pursuing a keto lifestyle, especially those who have experienced keto flu symptoms before. With LMNT, you can avoid the keto flu, maintain ketosis, and feel your best.
LMNT Recharge was developed by Robb Wolf and his Ketogains coaches to provide a zero-sugar, tasty electrolyte drink for those with a keto 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.
