After all, our bodies don\u2019t produce them, and we need to get them from food. Small cases can lead to symptoms like muscle weakness and fatigue. More severe symptoms can induce seizures and bone disorders.<\/p>\n<p>Your kidneys and hormones work to keep electrolytes balanced for the most part to ensure your health. Things like sickness, excessive sweating during exercise, and a poor diet can cause imbalances and possibly even deficiencies.<\/p>\n<p>What does all this have to do with intermittent fasting and losing weight? Well, those looking to lose weight while using IF will be cutting back their calorie intake. The majority of this drop in calories usually comes from carbohydrates since we need ample protein levels for muscle repair and maintenance and fat for optimal hormone function.<\/p>\n<p>Since carbohydrates aren\u2019t necessary to include in the diet for our bodies\u2019 healthy function, they tend to be cut back while losing weight. When you cut carbs out and start a fasting protocol, your body will expel excess water, attributed to glycogen stores in the body and caused by carbohydrate consumption.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, this water is attached to electrolytes, and the body ends up expelling our electrolytes along with that water. That is why as you start a new diet, you rapidly lose the so-called \u201cwater weight\u201d at the very beginning and then enter a more steady weight loss pace of losing 1-2 pounds per week.<\/p>\n<p>Since fasting periods are prolonged, you don\u2019t have a steady supply of dietary electrolytes to replace those expelled from excess water. This process can easily lead to an imbalance or deficiency, and this may be why some people choose to cut calories and start to struggle with fatigue and weakness.<\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"cta-shortcode__wrap\">\n        <section class=\"cta-shortcode blue\" >\n\n                            <h3>Take a <br \/>\r\n1-minute quiz<\/h3>\n                                        <h5>and discover how much weight you can lose with DoFasting!<\/h5>\n                                        <div class=\"actions two-buttons\">\n                                                                    <a class=\"btn blue\" href=\"https:\/\/new.dofasting.com\/simple?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=blue_blog_post_cta_male\" target=\"_blank\">MALE<\/a>\n                                                                    <a class=\"btn pink\" href=\"https:\/\/new.dofasting.com\/simple?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=blue_blog_post_cta_female\" target=\"_blank\">FEMALE<\/a>\n                                    <\/div>\n                        <img width=\"326\" height=\"446\" src=\"https:\/\/dofasting.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/mockup-6-new.png\" class=\"cta-img wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dofasting.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/mockup-6-new.png 326w, https:\/\/dofasting.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/mockup-6-new-219x300.png 219w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 326px) 100vw, 326px\" \/>        <\/section>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_Electrolytes_Break_The_Fast\"><\/span>Can Electrolytes Break The Fast?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So, we know that we probably need to increase our electrolyte intake during periods of fasting to reduce the chance of expelling our precious balance. But, IF provides so many health benefits, not to mention those that contribute to better weight loss.<\/p>\n<p>We don\u2019t want to break our fast to stock up on electrolytes. Most people think of sports drinks, like Gatorade or Pedialyte, when they think of electrolytes. Both of these are typically loaded with sugar to cover the salty flavor of electrolytes.<\/p>\n<p>While electrolytes will not break your fast, added sugar will. Electrolytes themselves don\u2019t contain any considerable amount of calories, so there will be no way for them to break your fast if they are consumed in an isolated form.<\/p>\n<p>This is the same way that vitamins and other minerals won\u2019t break a fast. If you can drink black coffee and not break your fast, you can consume electrolytes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Essential_Micronutrients\"><\/span>Essential Micronutrients<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Just like the micronutrients we find in a multivitamin and multimineral supplement, electrolytes are considered dietary essentials. Our bodies can\u2019t make them on their own, so consumption in our diets is how we replenish the stores in our bodies.<\/p>\n<p>Every time we sweat, urinate, and defecate, we expel some of our electrolytes. We need to replenish these through our diets in the right amounts to keep our bodies healthy.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, your electrolyte consumption is balanced every day. But, this isn\u2019t possible for the majority of us that lack dietary variety. Luckily, our bodies can regulate the expulsion of certain electrolytes and stay balanced as long as the intake is sufficient.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Choose_Himalayan_Salt\"><\/span>Why Choose Himalayan Salt?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Himalayan salt is an excellent sodium chloride source, which provides two of the essential electrolytes that we need regularly. Table salt does this as well, so why would Himalayan salt be any better?<\/p>\n<p>Well, it contains up to 84 other minerals and trace elements. For example, it includes small amounts of calcium and potassium, two essential electrolytes besides sodium and chloride.<\/p>\n<p>While sodium is the most abundant electrolyte in the body, most people overconsume sodium and don\u2019t consume enough of the other electrolytes, causing a harmful imbalance. Himalayan salt provides all of the electrolytes in a way that helps to balance your electrolytes easier than if you were to consume regular table salt.<\/p>\n<p>These additional electrolytes create a saltier taste. You will need to add less salt to your meals, which will help reduce your sodium intake. Too much sodium and too little of the other electrolytes can dehydrate you just as too little of all of the electrolytes can.<\/p>\n<p>The one thing to consider is that most table salt is iodized, meaning it provides the necessary micronutrient iodine. Himalayan salt provides a little bit as well, but not as much as table salt. For this reason, if you are to cut out your regular table salt and replace it with Himalayan salt, you need to eat iodine-rich foods in your intermittent fasting diet. Here are a few iodine-rich foods:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fish<\/li>\n<li>Dairy<\/li>\n<li>Eggs<\/li>\n<li>Sea Greens (seaweed, kelp, etc)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n<p>Himalayan salt isn\u2019t magic. It\u2019s just a natural form of salt that can provide additional minerals and electrolytes and contribute to your hydration levels. Consuming Himalayan salt during an IF protocol boils down to this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It boosts electrolyte intake while potentially lowering sodium intake (which is overconsumed regularly.)<\/li>\n<li>It won\u2019t break your fast if you sprinkle some in water during your fasting period.<\/li>\n<li>Electrolytes are imperative to optimal health and wellness during periods of weight loss.<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s a simple adjustment to use Himalayan salt over regular table salt, as long as you eat iodine-rich foods, such as fish, dairy, and eggs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n    <div class=\"cta-shortcode__wrap\">\n        <section class=\"cta-shortcode blue\" >\n\n                            <h3>Take a <br \/>\r\n1-minute quiz<\/h3>\n                                        <h5>and discover how much weight you can lose with DoFasting!<\/h5>\n                                        <div class=\"actions two-buttons\">\n                                                                    <a class=\"btn blue\" href=\"https:\/\/new.dofasting.com\/simple?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=blue_blog_post_cta_male\" target=\"_blank\">MALE<\/a>\n                                                                    <a class=\"btn pink\" href=\"https:\/\/new.dofasting.com\/simple?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=blue_blog_post_cta_female\" target=\"_blank\">FEMALE<\/a>\n                                    <\/div>\n                        <img width=\"326\" height=\"446\" src=\"https:\/\/dofasting.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/mockup-6-new.png\" class=\"cta-img wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dofasting.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/mockup-6-new.png 326w, https:\/\/dofasting.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/mockup-6-new-219x300.png 219w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 326px) 100vw, 326px\" \/>        <\/section>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Are Electrolytes?
