How can I lose my belly fat in a week?
"Electrolyte imbalances can also be
common if keto followers aren't aware of hydration needs," Turoff says.
It's important to stay hydrated on Keto, she says, especially in the beginning.
"As you limit carbohydrates, your body produces less insulin, and glycogen
stores (how carbs are stored) in the muscles and liver are depleted. For every
1 gram of glycogen that's depleted, you lose about 3 grams of water." This
causes the kidneys to flush out more water, and along with it, electrolytes
your body needs like magnesium, calcium, sodium, and potassium.
"Imbalanced electrolytes can lead to muscle cramps, irregular heartbeat,
fatigue, cognitive distortions, and lack of body temperature control,"
Turoff says. Some people may also be more likely to get kidney
stones while on keto due to inadequate hydration, according to Turoff.
