so many people notice on ketogenic diets they feel flat their electrolytes get a little funky they may feel a little difficulty with sleep and a lot of this is not enough salt in our diet because we're wasting salt
The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
there's another way to do that on a carnivore diet and it's salt and I think that that's exactly what you're talking about that you want the muscle bellies to be full you want the blood volume to be robust and this is a really interesting thing about ketogenic diets that Follet can Finny have talked about and we know this from our increasing understanding of ketogenic physiology there's something called the natural recess of fasting which is a super geeky term for the fact that you waste sodium in a fasting state you waste sodium on a ketogenic diet
you're not getting enough sodium
