Kenapa mesti makan lebih garam sewaktu Carnivore

Kenapa mesti makan lebih garam sewaktu kita kurangkan gula, nasi dan roti, iaitu semua jenis carb.

Without carbs, insulin levels drop dramatically, prompting your kidneys to excrete sodium more aggressively. This process, called natriuresis, can lead to rapid fluid loss

Yang di atas, iaitu fluid loss, itu yang menyebabkan berat badan ku turun dari 52 kg ka 42 kg, dalam sebulan sahaja. Hilang air dalam badan.

electrolyte imbalances

Yang ini pula, menyebabkan aku kejang otot(cram),lemah dan pening. Rupanya kurang garam. Makan garam lebih, sampai 20 g pada permulaaa, boleh selesaikan semua. Potassium boleh dapat dari pisang tapi pisang banyak carb. Aku beldi potassium chloride tapi potassium chloride bahaya terhadap orang yang buah pinggangnya tidak sehat.

The insulin connection

Carbohydrates trigger insulin release, which signals your kidneys to retain sodium. Without carbs, insulin levels drop dramatically, prompting your kidneys to excrete sodium more aggressively. This process, called natriuresis, can lead to rapid fluid loss and electrolyte imbalances.

This hormonal shift explains the "carnivore flu" - symptoms like headaches, fatigue, and muscle cramps that occur as your body adjusts to using fat instead of glucose for fuel. The body's natural response to lower insulin is to release stored water and electrolytes, creating a temporary imbalance that proper mineral intake can address.

The four essential electrolytes

Your body requires four primary electrolytes for optimal function:

Sodium regulates fluid balance, blood pressure, and nerve function. It's naturally present in all animal tissues, particularly in blood and muscle.

Potassium supports muscle contractions, nerve signals, and heart rhythm. Meat provides substantial amounts, with organ meats being particularly rich sources.

Magnesium enables over 300 enzymatic reactions and supports sleep quality and muscle function. Seafood and organ meats offer excellent bioavailable forms.

Calcium maintains bone strength and enables muscle contractions. Bone-in fish, dairy products, and bone broth provide calcium on carnivore.
