When it comes to cramping, the first thing to check is your electrolyte intake. Just sodium, or just potassium, isn't enough. You need adequate sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium, and calcium.
Forget sports drinks, eating a banana, etc. Get some Morton's Lite Salt. You can get it from any grocery store if you don't want to get it from Amazon. It's a 50/50 mix of sodium & potassium chloride. Mix a quarter teaspoon in some water and drink it at least half an hour before exercise.
This should stop your cramping cold. Supplementing with Calcium and Magnesium Citrate is also a good idea when eating keto-style, as it helps prevent kidney stones in addition to ensuring adequate electrolyte intake.
Have you looked at online retailers? I noticed that you can get it from Amazon Canada. But after factoring in shipping, it works out to $3.50 CAD per can, which seems kind of high. 36 ounces total.
Instead, you may want to try "lite salt," which is a blend of sodium and potassium. Here's 33 ounces of it for $15 and change. Most people find this more palatable than pure potassium chloride.
>I've also been advised potassium salt is very dangerous so I shouldn't be looking for it.
Only if you're taking medication that causes you to retain potassium, or a related health issue. Either way, get some blood tests from your doctor to figure out if you have any issues there, before taking supplements.
Try "lite salt" which is 50/50 NaCl and KCl - this will help supplement your potassium too, which is generally harder to get than sodium. Get accustomed to putting some on your food, cook with it, and even dissolve a small amount in water you drink throughout the day if need be.
Listen to your body. I can tell you that when I am deficient, putting it on my eggs in the morning makes them taste much more delicious. If it tastes noticeably salty, I cut back. Give it a week and you'll start to see what I'm talking about firsthand.
I agree totally. If you go with the Lite Salt, which is 50% salt, 50% potassium, it takes the edge off quite a bit.
What is 'lite' salt? Is it just this which appears they have replaced a portion of it with potassium chloride to make it "lite" ?
If so, I suppose I could try that. Thanks for the tip!
