How much salt do you need to consume when you go on a ketogenic diet?

When you switch your diet to low-carb, moderate protein, high-fat, you remove a lot of the processed foods that contained a lot of sodium. Eating high-carb foods like bread, pasta, and rice force your kidneys to retain salt. Therefore, you’ll need to replenish this salt when you shift to the ketogenic lifestyle.

When you cut your carbohydrate intake below 50g daily, your kidneys will dump excess salt requiring you to replenish these for proper electrolyte balance. Consume 5000mg of Pink Himalayan sea salt daily (about 2 teaspoons) when you eat keto. This will keep you feeling your very best on this new way of eating.
