The “Big Three” electrolytes are Sodium, Potassium and Magnesium.

They are not the only electrolytes in the world. They have buddies like phosphorus, chloride, bicarbonate and others.

But the big three are the ones that can cause the most problems - if you don’t take enough of them. If they drop too low, obvious unpleasant symptoms will hit you right away.

Ketogenic diets and fasting (especially Extended Fasting) deplete electrolytes at much faster rates compared to standard diets. That’s why it’s important to watch your intake and supplement in advance.

Don’t wait to get hit by deficiency side effects - get your electrolytes replenished in advance! 👌👍

It makes us so happy to hear that our products help! 😃

Hair loss can sometimes occur during fasting or Keto, usually due to a pre-existing deficiency of certain key micronutrients. That’s why we developed our Hair Defence formulation!

Why do we choose to fast or diet? Most people would say either for health, or for weight loss. It’s a simple answer but is it going deep enough? 🧐

Try asking “why” several times to find your ultimate underlying motivation. ❓

For example - I fast to lose weight. Why do I want to lose weight? I want to look good. Why do I want to look good? Because I want to feel more confident. Why do I want to feel more confident? And so on. 🙋

If you dig deep enough, you will find some fundamental reasons that are central to your desire for self-improvement. 😃

Weight loss is just one example. If you manage to change your body composition, potential benefits go way beyond simply looking better and feeling healthier. Many people find it a boost for their self-respect, confidence and willpower. Which in turn can lead to further progress and achievements. 💪

Knowing your “why” and keeping it in mind will help you stay on track when the going gets tough. 🫵👌

Most people think of exogenous ketones as the ultimate ketone supplement. But all it does is just add ketones to your bloodstream. It can amplify the benefits of natural ketosis. But what if you struggle with getting there in the first place? 🩸

Dr Atkins (the father of the modern low-carb diet) recommended Co-Enzyme Q10 works in collaboration with L-Carnitine for anyone who struggles to break into ketosis. The combination of these two ingredients helps to mobilise fat at the cellular level and to kick start fat-burning metabolism. 💊

Do you fast mostly for health - or mostly for weight loss? 🤔

Of course, these two goals are linked. As one of them improves, so will the other. 🙌

But there are a few tactical differences depending on which one is your primary goal. 🥅

👉Fasting for health usually means maximising autophagy. Extended Fasting is more effective for this purpose. The jury is still out on what’s the optimal fast duration for autophagy but most people go for at least 3-5 days.

👉Get the results with Intermittent Fasting as well as with Extended. During EF, you can get away with a few minor cheats like a spoonful of fat in your coffee or a little bit of bone broth to tide you over.

❓What’s your main fasting goal - and how do you go about achieving it?

We are live on Noon.com! Our supplements for Keto and Fasting are now available on noon.com, offering fast delivery across the UAE, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Our Fasting Salts range is Halal-certified and suitable for Islamic fasting.

Electrolytes help your body to retain water. Taking some electrolytes in the morning before your fast, with plenty of water, will help you stay hydrated throughout the day.💧

* How to take Fasting Salts for Islamic Fasting 👇

Take 0.5 scoop of the Fasting Salts powder dissolved in a large glass of water (500-700ml) with or before your Suhoor meal. If taking capsules, take 3 capsules with a large glass of water. 💧

If you have any symptoms of electrolyte deficiency by the evening (such as headache, fatigue, muscle cramps, dizziness), take another small serving of Fasting Salts with your Iftar meal to help you recover faster. Suggested dosage 0.3 scoop of powder or 1-2 capsules. 🧂

Why don't we use Pink Himalayan salt in our Fasting Salts products? Because it doesn't deliver the required amounts of minerals. 🧏‍♀️

It's true that pink salt is less processed than its pharmaceutical-grade siblings. It sure looks much better with all its lovely uneven splashes of colour! 😃

But delivering the right amount of electrolytes? Not so much. 👎

Because pink salt is indeed natural, its mineral levels can vary naturally a great deal - up to 40x times between samples. Without a lab test on each batch, there is no way to tell precisely how much you are getting. But even in the most mineral-rich samples, the levels of potassium and magnesium are much lower than recommended for fasting. 👨‍🔬

If you are doing intermittent fasting or short-term extended fasting, pink Himalayan salt may be enough. But for long-term EF, you will need to ensure the right amounts of potassium and magnesium. 🧂

That's why we use pharmaceutical-grade pure dried vacuum salt for our Fasting Salts products. We then add pure magnesium and potassium on top. So that the supplement always provides precisely the right amount of each mineral for optimal electrolyte balance during your fast. 🧂

Fasting is weird. Keto is a fad diet. Carnivore is just plain crazy. 😱

Says who? People who follow the so-called Western Pattern Diet! 🤣🤣🤣

Because it's the most common way of eating, people overlook how unnatural and harmful it can be.

😟Unnatural: artificial and highly-processed ingredients
😟Unseasonal: fruit and veg available any time of the year
😟Non-local: foods imported from halfway round the world
😟Hormonally suboptimal: multiple meals and snacking causing frequent insulin spikes
😟Not fit for purpose: usually not matching your actual energy and macronutrient needs

Over the years, this way of eating can lead to obesity and multiple health problems. 😳

The solution is to stop listening to the mainstream nutrition industry. And switch to a more metabolically optimal way of eating like Keto, Paleo or Carnivore, with occasional fasting. 🥩

Can you do strength training while fasting? You certainly can. But it may not be the optimal thing to do, depending on your objective. 👌

If you are actively trying to build muscle, you will need a surplus of calories and protein in order to build the new muscle tissue. 💪

There is no way around that. So Extended Fasting will not be the right option in these circumstances. You'd be better off alternating periods of active training for growth with periods of fasting. 🏃‍♂️🍽

There are some Intermittent Fasting protocols that combine IF with strength training. is probably the most popular one. But anecdotal evidence suggests it doesn't work for everyone and may depend on your levels of testosterone. So it could work well for a young athletic male but perhaps not as well for a middle-aged menopausal female. 🚴‍♂️⛹️👩‍🦳

However, if your objective is to maintain strength and accelerate fat loss during fasting, then you can definitely continue with your strength regimen during both IF and EF. Energy levels are usually not a problem. You may see a little drop in performance to start with but it will come back once your body is used to fasting. 🏃‍♂️🏋️

One last point to note is that fasting does increase the levels of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) which plays a role in muscle building. 💪

What's your experience of strength training during fasting? Please leave a comment and let us know. 👇

Have you seen our dosage calculator for Fasting Salts powder? We discovered through trial and error that many people take either too much of electrolytes, or not enough. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Both mistakes can derail your fast and slow down your progress.🤦

That’s why we developed our calculator, to help you find the optimal level of supplementation that’s right for YOU. 🫵

Our supplement requirements depend on factors like body composition, lifestyle, genetics and many more. For fasting supplements, the type of fasting and its duration makes a huge difference. 💊

The quiz takes about 1 minute to complete. Your electrolyte requirements will be determined as either High, Low or Medium. You will get a detailed breakdown of the dosages depending on the type and duration of your fast.⏳

Follow the link to the calculator from our bio Linktree. 🖩
