We do need the Salt. 6 gram of Sodium Chloride a day on average. There’s good reason people risked their lives crossing deserts for Salt.

The “Keto flu” a few days in on low carb is because we stop retaining it and start peeing it out causing Orthostatic Hypotension which results in light headedness when standing, headaches and a general feeling of weakness and low mood.

Keep all your electrolytes up and I found it’s much easier to fast or stay low carb.

I’m on day 14 of the 16 day cleanse I started.

It’s about 900-1200 calories a day, mostly raw vegetables and black coffee 😂

No salt, seasonings or sauces. Lots of dry salad, lots of grapefruit and 4-5 eggs a day.

I went through the full emotional rollercoaster doing this, I woke up depressed one morning about 6 days in.

“Why the hell am I doing this!?”

I am working out 7 days a week as well, lifting weights and doing HIIT and yoga. I almost passed out multiple times at the gym in the first week, but my body has adapted and I’m even making rep gains on the cleanse.

This was more of a mental challenge than a health challenge.

2 days left and I’m starting to see abs which is kind of mind blowing to me … I never thought I would have defined abs.

I thought I had too much stomach fat.

In 2010 I started exercising for the first time in my life and did P90X 3 times in a row and lost 40-50 lbs, that was my peak fitness level around 160 lbs.

Over the last decade I yo-yo’d up and down between 190-165, mostly sitting around 175-180 … gaining weight then losing it to make sure I never got back to my peak fatness.

I’m about to surpass my peak fitness level now at 41, and it feels surreal.

The next 3 mths is a muscle building phase.

My goal body is within reach.

Proof of work 💪
