I’m doing strict keto, I’ve lost 5kg (whoo). The recommendations seem to be to take 1g of salt in the morning, and 1g in the afternoon.

I know when its very low - Headache, or feeling tired.

How do I know if I’m getting enough salt?

    2g supplementary salt is plenty. If you still experience signs of hyponatremia (headaches, torpor, cramps or spasms, sensitivity to stimulation), you need to talk to your doc. If it’s just headache and lack of energy, it could also be a sign that you don’t drink enough.

    Just chug down more water and see if it gets better. If it doesn’t, pay the doc a visit.
