Reddit mentions: The best sea salts

> Peanut butter is actually one of the worst culprits for Omega 6 fatty acids.

Whoops! There's stuff like like this which has greatly reduced fat: https://smile.amazon.com/PB2-Powdered-Peanut-Butter-6-5/dp/B002GJ9JWS

A serving has 1.5g fat compared to about 16g for actual peanut butter. It only has 5g protein compared to 8g for regular peanut butter, though, so if you ate the equivalent amount it would probably be around 2.6g fat.

> But it looks like Macadamia nuts are nearly free of Omega 6, and they are lower in fiber than the other nuts.

Just keep 'em away from your dog, if you have one. They're pretty toxic to dogs. They're pretty high in fat, so you probably couldn't get a lot of protein from them without exceeding your caloric requirements but variety is always nice.

These are the kind I've had in the past: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OBIL8SU

I'd recommend them, but they are pretty expensive. They were the best deal for reasonably rated hemp hearts at the time I investigated. 10g protein to 1g fibre. They taste similar to wheat germ, just with a bit of a nuttier/sharper taste.

> I also saw seaweed can be great if you can actually eat enough of the stuff.

I'm not really a fan, but if you enjoy it!

> What do you use in substitution for eggs? Most substitutes I see are high fiber and I'd prefer not to use those.

For baking? I usually don't use anything, but I don't bake a lot of stuff like cakes. Apple sauce and mashed banana are two substitutes that come to mind which are frequently used in baking. You might be able to use silken tofu or arrowroot powder (mostly starch, I don't think it would have much fiber.)

There are also dedicated egg replacers, like this stuff: http://www.ener-g.com/egg-replacer.html
It doesn't seem to have any significant fiber. I don't think I've ever tried it myself.

By the way, if you crave the eggy taste for non-baking stuff there's a salt called kala namak which has a very sulfery-eggy taste. I like to toss some cubed tofu with a bit of cornstarch, kala namak, and black pepper then fry it in a hot pan with some olive oil. Tastes a lot like fried eggs and the texture is pretty much like egg whites.

This is what I have: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B001O1VDXM/

Not sure if it's still the best deal, but a little goes a long way. I bought the 1lb package back in 2012 and still have a decent amount left.

By the way, the Amazon links aren't affiliate links or anything like that. Just a possible place to acquire it if you're interested. I'd certainly recommend doing a little independent research before buying.

I just moved some things around on my wishlists yesterday. I am really bad about reorganizing my wishlists all the time :P

    Made in Oregon Lip Balm Gift Set Added August 11 to Beauty Wishlist :P I did a search for this contest and found something that goes with one of my obsessions - lip gloss!

I would bet that you are purging things based on your healing. It is definitely a big effort so a lot of water makes sense. However, when I was healing - I started drinking distilled (and re-mineralized) water or spring water, without all of the toxins that tap water has. If you can afford it, I highly recommend a distiller. It will make your energy field more clear and your body more healthy. This is the one that I have. It is expensive yes, but an investment in your well being. http://www.purewaterinc.com/Mini-Classic-CT-Countertop-Water-Distiller

​

If you get this or find another way to get distilled water - make sure to put minerals back into it that are healthy - like a pinch of Real Salt: https://www.amazon.com/REDMOND-Real-Sea-Salt-Unrefined/dp/B000R5PKD0/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=real+salt&qid=1549695065&sr=8-5

Distilled water definitely changed my health for the better. If you can't afford the one I posted now there may be other options that are cheaper. But get one that is all metal though - as that will produce the purest water.

It may sound like sacrilege, but you can do very convincing Kalua pig in a crock-pot. Pierce the meat well, splash with a bit of liquid smoke, then sprinkle with red Alae salt. You can use regular sea salt, but the real deal is better. Order some off Amazon if you can't find it locally.

Wrap in ti leaves (florists often have them on hand), then wrap in foil. You can use banana leaves, too, or skip the leaves entirely and just use foil, but the flavor is best with ti leaves. Add a little water to the pot, cover, and leave it on low heat all day.

Pull the meat and serve over a bed of white rice if you want to emphasize that this isn't ordinary barbeque. Spoon some of the juice over the rice, too.

I think you'd have a really hard time doing it in a conventional smoker. You'd need to have it wrapped pretty much the whole time, which negates the whole point of smoking it. The crock-pot would actually be more authentic, since it's closer to the pig being buried in the imu. Kalua pig isn't really smoked pork, but the end result is similar.

If you really want to use the smoker, I'd suggest skipping the liquid smoke (above) and smoking the meat for just an hour or so, then wrap it and move it to the crock-pot with water. I've never tried that, but it should work out. A wood that imparts a mild flavoring would probably be best.

Have you tried an over night sleeping pack? That may take care of waking up with dehydrated/irritated skin.

Like Lioele Water Drop Sleeping Pack this feels so good on your skin as the last step of your skin care routine leave on over night then wash off in the am w a gentle cleanser or beauty water followed by toner.

I also use Elizavecca Milky Piggy Sea Salt Cream when my skin needs extra hydration. (It feels slimy and tacky when you rub it one) but leave it over night then in the morning your skin will be amazing just wash it off with beauty water and follow w a toner then whatever skin care you do. Its very hydrating which makes no since bc its salty but i like it.

Amazon....too rich for my blood, but looks amazing for anyone with the disposable income.

I have the air popper and really enjoy it. It's a single use device but I use it all the time. Here's what I do and everyone seems to love it:

1. Coconut oil on top to melt. Add before the next ingredients so it sticks.
   
   
2. Fine salt. The Flavacol might work, but I prefer a finely ground salt. I use this. Any salt will work, that was just the finest salt they had at the grocery.
   
   
3. Costco's No-Salt Seasoning. I love this stuff. It's about $8 or so for one container. $14 on Amazon (it'll last a while). I use it on all sorts of things.
   
   
4. Nutritional yeast. I get it from Trader Joe's but most groceries will have it. Get the smallest container you can, you won't need much. Put in an empty shaker.
   
   
5. I've only tried two types of popcorn. Bob Redmill White Popcorn and Trader Joe's Yellow. I prefer Trader Joe's Yellow so far. It seems to pop better with less kernels. Either way, a small bag lasts forever. It took me 3 years to finish this.
   
   

If you want your tofu scramble to taste eggy, do yourself a huge favor and buy some [kala namak] (https://www.amazon.com/Spice-Himalayan-BLACK-Crystal-ground/dp/B001O1VDXM/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1466094545&sr=8-1&keywords=kala+namak) - the one linked I bought like four years ago and I still have a half a bag. Use in place of regular salt. It tastes like egg salt and it's bizarre but it really helps out in the scramble department!

Buy some extra firm tofu, smoosh/crumble it into an oiled pan, add in black salt, pepper, I like dill and basil as well, add in some sauteed veggies and soy crumbles, and top off with some good sauce!

1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon NuSalt/potassium salt, 1/8 teaspoon food grade epsom salt (magnesium), and 1/8 teaspoon baking soda per 16.9floz/500ml water is the ratio I use. I added the magnesium and the baking soda after reading the Snake Juice guide because I hated swallowing the magnesium tablets I have. Tracking electrolytes on top of calories and macros is kinda frustrating so I just kinda wing it. Some days I drink 1L, others just 500ml, but I guess you should experiment and see what works for you. I also generously salt my food which gives me added support.

I have a little plastic container with 4 compartments that makes it really quick & easy to take a scoop of each and get a water bottle ready to take with me on my morning commute or a hike. I also enjoy adding Ultima Lemonade for flavor but it's probably way overpriced compared to the benefit.

Cast iron heats up unevenly so you have to give it more time on the heat before searing. I personally like to use stainless steel. I get perfect sears that way. Also, butter has solids in it that will burn. Best to use ghee or some kind of oil then finish the steak with a pat of butter right after you take it out of the pan. Get a very high quality butter for this step to get best results. I use this butter and it’s effing delicious.

They're actually cheaper now, $10 for two. Even better. They're 11oz each, and they go a long way.

You are looking for a solution to successfully get more potassium and sodium in your diet, and I'm just telling you what I have done for ten months without fail. I have no idea why you wouldn't give it a try as it's the perfect fit for what you're needing, but that's your decision. Best of luck to you.

Himalayan is good stuff but it has trace amounts of potassium at best. I have used [this](NoSalt Sodium-Free Salt Alternative, 11 Oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H185N6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_8ZWwCb8H2HWVG), and [this](Nu-Salt Substitute Shaker, 3 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004EPBMRC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_B0WwCbZSF5540) in the past. Its usually on the very bottom shelf in the salt section.

These are the recomended amounts of each per day

5000 mg of sodium

1000-4700mg of potassium

300 mg of magnesium

Your Himalayan is perfect for sodium, which is the big one. Same thing with the magnesium. Potassium needs really vary per person, but if you notice that you're feeling wonky, achy, or cramping up its a sign you're not getting enough and might want to try and track down the no/nu salt.

With regards to your recipe, you can use myfitnesspal (or whatever) to track them and make sure youre getting your recommended amounts. Beyond that it's really personal preference. The only caution about that is to make sure you're spreading it throughout the day, because too much, too.quick has have a really unfortunate diuretic effect.

Maldon salt is really good for that sort of thing (they are cool little hollow pyramids of salt) or a med-coarse sea salt (I like the grey salt from france - one of my favorite finishing salts). there are a few others, but those would be my top 2 finishing salts (currently).

Kosher should work though, if you want. The only downsides are that it is still a thin flake, and can dissolve before you enjoy your dessert. It also isn't as 'bursty' with salt flavor as a proper finishing salt (as they have bigger pieces), and sea salt has extra flavor from the included minerals that kosher doesn't have. I still keep kosher salt and use it for salting meat and all sorts of things, just usually not as a finishing salt, those will really up your game on things where one would consider salt a proper 'ingredient', like this dessert.

I bought this alderwood smoked salt and this Hawaiian lava salt and they are great. The lava salt isn't really any better flavor wise than a regular sea salt, but it looks great on a steak. The smoked salt is my favorite by far.

>Salt used in processed foods is not iodized. Given that people are cooking less at home and buying either restaurant or processed foods, iodine intakes in the U.S. have declined from about 250 μg/day to 157 micrograms/day. Public health authorities recommend 150 μg or more and the need is particularly acute for expectant mothers. Daily Iodine intakes of 1,000 – 1,100 μg are safe for adults and children over 4 years of age. - http://www.saltinstitute.org/news-articles/iodized-salt/

OP, I don't use iodized salt. I prefer sea salt (non-iodized) for taste and try not to use much of that, either. There are some seaweeds that are high in iodine and you can snack on them. Be sure to investigate amounts, though. Some are actually too high for regular consumption. Personally, I don't like the "seafood" taste, so I buy this stuff: http://www.amazon.com/Maine-Coast-Sea-Vegetables-Alternative/dp/B0007SMLUM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396538353&sr=8-1&keywords=kelp+flakes It's kelp, but I find that if I don't use much and use it in meals that have other strong flavors that the flavor doesn't bother me and I can get more than enough iodine easily.

And good for you for asking about iodine! I was low thyroid for a while, even put on meds. My doc never even bothered to ask where I was getting my iodine from. I learned more about nutrition, added the kelp and improved my diet in other ways and I no longer have thyroid problems! And the kelp flakes are much cheaper than thyroid meds :D

That looks scrumptious!

I must try the garbanzo flour.

Have you tried the salt that tastes like eggs?

The recipe I use is super simple and is included in the revolutionary Non-Dairy Evolution Cookbook by Chef Skye Michael Conroy. The uncannily eggy flavor in this recipe (and in many others in this feature) is achieved via kala namak salt, a highly sulfurous rock salt that tastes and smells just like eggs.

Powerade Zero has a trace of electrolytes, better than nothing, but you need to add a bit more. Most things marketed as "electrolytes" aren't for people who rely on them. We can't hold water weight, so the minerals go right through us. Best thing to do is pick up a Morton's Lite Salt to add to your Powerade Zero, to give you more significant mg of sodium and potassium. Daily recommended intake for keto is:

5000mg sodium

1000mg potassium

300mg magnesium.

Now look at the Powerade Zero label. A large bottle will have 375mg sodium, about 87mg potassium, no significant magnesium.

Sodium & Potassium. 1/4 to 1 tsp
Morton Lite Salt

Magnesium 1/2 to 2 tsp
Natural Calm

Put in a large bottle of water or flavored drink or powerade zero and you have a ketoade. Sip through the day, don't chug ketoade.

I hate mushrooms but i love truffle salt This stuff is amazing on eggs, vegetables, and it's extremely potent so a little goes a long way.

I get this as well, when I do, I know I am low on electrolytes. Adding morton's lite salt to your diet will boost your potassium.

Also, mio electrolytes in your water bottle helps as well. Read up on keto flu for more electrolyte boosting options. Good luck.

Thanks for posting! I would love to have sunny side up "eggs" again. People are getting so damn clever with recipes. Did it really taste like eggs? I put the black kala Namak salt in my tofu scrambles. It does have a good egg flavor.

You can buy that special salt on Amazon 11 bucks for a pound of it. (That's a crazy amount but you can share it.)

You're right, thank you so much for pointing that out. I was thinking 7 grams of sodium, not salt. Quite the difference! :)

The Celtic Sea Salt I have is 1.5 grams of salt per 1/4 tsp, or 6 grams per teaspoon. (Perhaps because it's a coarser grind?) So five 1/4 teaspoon servings of this particular salt per day would put me just over Megan's recommendation. This is really good to know; I must have been mistakenly equating salt and sodium as a 1:1 ratio or similar.

Just to be sure that I'm mathing correctly, Megan is therefore recommending about 2.5 grams of sodium per day, which is half of the /r/Keto FAQ's guidelines?

My favorite salt is Fleur de Sel. Quite delicious. This is the type I get.

I really want to try that greek salt now. Any brand name or way to get it in the US? Is it something like this?

Tried doing the reverse sear?


I've been doing this for over a year and have yet to make a bad steak in the 20 or so times I've done it. A few changes though - I like my steak (Ribeye!) to be about 1.25 inches thick. 215 for about 40 minutes, or until internal temp is 123F. The thicker the cut, the lower the temp and higher the time needs to be.

FLAKE sea salt and pepper 2 hours before going into the oven. I use Avocado oil in the pan, with real butter. Definitely use a digital thermometer for a perfect medium rare at 123 degrees internal temp. Don't forget to rest the meat before the pan (10 mins!), and before serving it. (another 10 mins!)

Sear that puppy on all sides for maximum maillard reaction. You should be just below the smoke point of the Avocado oil before the steak goes in the pan. About 480 degrees I think.

If you did it right, the steak should fall apart with just a fork and be super juicy. Even choice cuts taste amazing with this method.

Himalayan salt is overrated. Celtic salt is a decent choice, but this is my default:

Redmond Real Sea Salt - Natural Unrefined Organic Gluten Free Fine, 10 Ounce Shaker (1 Pack) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000E6BRUW/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_ZaSQDb7GX97GZ

We served with multiple types of salts. Usually 1 sea salt, 1 slight smoked salt, and one very smoked salt like this one.

The last one is a favorite of mine as it goes great with grilled red meats and all of our steaks were grilled. You dont really cook with it however and its mostly a salt you add just after you finish.

What's your DRA? 1500mg? Whenever I do a low sodium diet, I shoot for roughly 1500mg.

For this type of dietary restriction, I normally stuck to foods that don't need a lot of salt, like veggies, lean meats, and fruit. You'd be surprised how much salt is in bread, crackers, pastries and other baked goods. Pastas and rice also tend to need more salt to add flavor, so I avoid those too, however, rice is more forgiving with how many spices you can add to it.

How do you feel about potassium-free salts and low sodium salt substitutes? There's a pretty good half & half on amazon that has good reviews: https://www.amazon.com/Nu-Salt-Substitute-Shaker-3-Ounce/dp/B004EPBMRC/ref=sr_1_12_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1511449360&sr=8-12&keywords=salt+substitute

The hot sauce isn't super hot, but has a pretty good flavor to it.

Hey, I was going through the same thing. My solution that has been partially stated is nu-salt for potassium, Seasonello for sodium and iodine (It's sea salt with iodine), and Ultima Replenisher for the magnesium(It's just a pure electrolyte blend with 100mg of magnesium per serving). I use these because I cycle from water fasting to a keto during the week and all my electrolytes suffer unless you replenish them. I hope this helps and I highly recommend cycling water fasting and keto since fasting puts your body into ketosis. I watched an incredible video albeit a little long on water fasting by Dorian Wilson. (https://youtu.be/DghrZNUP5vo) GL with the diet.

Ah I use primarily sea salt when I cook, none of the processed iodized anti-clumping stuff, I find it tastes better. I am not into the fancy pink Himalayan salts and other "gourmet salts" in general, but I have no problems with paying a bit more for Kosher salt.

Also, if you haven't yet, you should try at least once, using a quality salt like Maldon for grilling or cast iron skillet frying a steak, you'll find that the crust that develops and flavor that it produces is vastly superior to table salt.

It also produces a much better result when used with Chocolate..

Hey everyone,

I think I came up with a good recipe for ketoade and I'd like to get your feedback on it! I have a 24oz bottle that I fill up once per day to sip on, but I make it in batches (120oz) that last me 5 days.

​

Recipe:

• 5 servings of Keto Chow Fasting Drops (1 serving = 1/2 tsp) - 1,100mg sodium, 180mg magnesium
  
• 6 servings of Nu-Salt (1 serving = 1/6tsp) - 3,180mg potassium
  
• 5 servings of Mio Sport w/Electrolytes Berry Bast(1 serving = 1/2 tsp) - 400mg sodium
  
  Makes 5 24oz servings.
  
  Totals per serving;
  
  
• Sodium: 300mg
  
• Potassium: 636mg
  
• Magnesium: 35mg
  
  The only thing I can think of to improve this would be to add more magnesium. What do you think? Any recommendations?

My mother gave me this sampler for Christmas one year. I have no idea what posessed her to choose that particular gift, but it turned out to be one of the best she's ever gotten me. And since my wife and I use these so sparingly as accents for meals, it's lasted two years and counting.

Edited for correct link.

Okay. Well, sea salt can come in different colours depending on the minerals in the salt, so I wouldn't rule it out. I'm more inclined to think it's a sea salt of some variety, because it was soft flakes, and mineral salt tends to be more crystalline.

Take a look at this site, and see if you spot it;

http://www.saltworks.us/salt_info/si_gourmet_reference.asp#.VDAh2flr7J8

It's most likely some sort of flaked sea salt. You might not be able to get the colour you want easily, but white sea salt will taste much the same. I use Maldon sea salt all the time, it's really nice, without getting into really pricey territory.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00017028M/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1944687762&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0019S6GLE&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0FBJS9X749W579FR4ABW

If you like salt (I do) try using a bunch of Hawaiian red clay salt: https://www.amazon.com/Hawaiian-PaAkai-Alaea-Medium-Grains/dp/B00MA84WKY You kind of have to use a lot to get a lot of the clay flavor which also makes it pretty salty, but that and some black pepper make for a very tropical and unique chicken seasoning. You wouldn't think that clay would taste good but it does.

Momma didn't raise no fool.

Linky.

Thanks for the contest - and the incentive to do the right thing for ourselves!

Trace Minerals brand

When I make an electrolyte drink I use a teaspoon of this, but then I'll also add a few shakes of this potassium salt so that i get a good 10-15% of my recommended potassium in one drink.

nu salt (per /u/perritosupergordito, contains ingredients derived from honey) and lo salt are pretty good.

I get my potassium from Nu-Salt and was able to completely avoid the keto flu-like symptoms. Best of luck with your latest attempt!

Sodium: broth/bouillon. Beef tastes better but chicken is more readily available. I'll put a TBSP into my 24oz coffee cup in the morning, drink it throughout the day, and that's about 2500mg of sodium. More if I counted the splash of Frank's Red Hot. Adding a TBSP of heavy cream really kicks it up a notch.

Potassium: No Salt (NOT Nu Salt or Lite Salt) as it provides 2600mg of potassium per TSP. Nu Salt contains more, if I'm not mistaken. I'll sneak 1/4 tsp of No Salt into that same coffee cup in the morning and usually split the remaining 3/4 tsp into two 28 oz bottles of water with a few squeezes of Mio water enhancer. Looks like Nu Salt might be easier for you to find, at least on amazon. Also, spinach.

Magnesium: two of these

OP GET THIS IT'S SUPER TASTY!

congratulations! this is what i use for potassium. i think one can order it on amazon

Totally normal BUT you are probably not supplementing electrolytes properly. Get some Lite Salt or magnesium/potassium supplements. In a pinch, grab a Powerade Zero. You'll feel better soon!! Hang in there!

​

Lite Salt

Hard boiled eggs w/ Nu-Salt, and pop tarts.

Nu-Salt is potassium chloride, and it seriously helps me with cramping. I love the stuff.

You forgot one of the main ingredients of Poke… Alaea... Hawaiian Salt

You probably can't get Limu where you are, but you can get a small amount dried, in this Poke Seasoning packet. It also comes with the Hawaiian Salt so you kill two birds. It tastes really good and authentic too.

Kelp flakes or kelp granules are dried seaweed!

I’ve had fish sauce, I’ve only been vegan for about a year. They aren’t exactly like fish sauce (not liquid) but they do help add a little umami balance.

fleur de sel is a awesome garnishing salt for desserts. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002FGY9O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_MsA7Bb80ZVTSD

kalua pork. rub with Hawaiian salt and wrap with banana leaves (some asian markets carry these) while smoking. its amazing!

Those look damn good! I can't tell if that's kosher salt on top or Maldon. If it's not Maldon, try it; it makes a huge difference!

My wife used to eat 4 eggs a day before we switched, so she gets it. Anyway, she loves this salt. It has the sulfur taste you need. Just put it on food, tofu scramble, etc, AFTER the food is done cooking because the sulfur taste does cook out of it.

For drinks, consider getting into fermentation. Make milk kefir, water kefir, kombucha. Also homemade coconut and almond milk are cheap and easy to do.

You could potentially buy these things rather than make them but the milk kefir in stores is not the real deal, water kefir (probiotic tonic/soda is how its usually marketed) and kombucha are usually loaded down with sugar. And coconut and almond milk usually have all kinds of added emulsifiers and preservatives.

I'm not big into herbal teas, something I want to learn more about. The only one I normally do is turmeric tea.

As far as the iodine and broccoli, from what I understand the raw cruciferous veggies essentially block iodine from reaching the thyroid to do it job. So you'll want to take more than the daily allowance to counter this. Sea salt has about 10% the daily allowance per serving. These kelp granules have over 300% the daily allowance per serving and are actually rather salty so they can be used as a salt replacement. http://amzn.com/B0007SMLUM

Although if you are already eating seaweed as a snack you are probably already fine.

In the US, you can't get a potassium supplement over 99mg, and you need 1000mg. Just get the Nu-Salt at hopefully most grocery stores, looks like this and will be by the spices/salt, usually on a low shelf.

I wonder if kelp granules might help?

If you have any sort of desire for an eggy taste, I’d recommend this stuff

Definitely go with Kalas Classic

Since I'd have to eat over 50% daily value of sodium from salt to get enough iodine, I use this http://www.amazon.com/Seasonings-Kelp-Granules-1-50-Ounces/dp/B0007SMLUM/

I find I get more than enough sodium from food and that it is easy to add more if needed. If adding sodium is making your headaches worse, then you need a lot more potassium. That's why I use electromix, because it does not have any sodium, and will help increase potassium ratios. Another (cheaper) way to get potassium only (no other electrolytes) is to dump some "salt substitute" (available in every grocery store) in with whatever you're drinking/eating. It is potassium chloride instead of sodium chloride and does taste salty, but odd.

With electrolytes you need to hit all of those macros, not just salt and magnesium. The ratio is the most important part.

If you want to kick this up a notch, try using Vegenaise & truffle salt.

i actually prefer hawaiian salt: https://www.amazon.com/Hawaiian-PaAkai-Alaea-Medium-Grains/dp/B00MA84WKY/

You can order it directly on Amazon!

Lava rock salt.

https://www.amazon.com/Das-Foods-Hawaiian-Black-Salt/dp/B000K6X8KI

https://www.amazon.com/Foods-Hawaiian-Black-Lava-Salt/dp/B000K6X8KI

Yup!

Maldon Salt - https://www.amazon.com/Maldon-Sea-Salt-Flakes-ounce/dp/B00017028M

I ordered 16 of these just in case.

It should last a while.

https://www.amazon.com/Nu-Salt-Substitute-Shaker-3-Ounce/dp/B004EPBMRC Is this the right stuff? So you take this every morning on an 18/6 fast or only on 24+ hour fast?

Potassium - Nu Salt

Just sprinkle it on some stuff throughout the day.

This is the salt I use, Casina Rossa Truffle and Salt by Nicola de Laurentiis. Summer truffles are used for this product, of course.

https://www.amazon.com/Morton-Salt-Lite-11/dp/B00KPX1B6Y/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=salt+light&qid=1556207934&s=grocery&sr=1-3

https://www.amazon.com/Seasonello-Coarse-Enriched-Iodine-10-58/dp/B00CV1OHSC

It's also called kala namak or black salt and it's used in Indian cuisine a lot. You could try looking for it at an Indian grocery. I just ordered a pound of it from Amazon!

You can purchase a potassium based salt substitute to add to foods. The taste does not compare to salt, but I could see substituting some salt from a recipe for this, especially in something that has a lot of other spices.

I use this in combination with a liquid magnesium supplement, to make a calorie-free electrolyte drink that I use when outdoors on hot days. I find that this combination decreases my feelings of dehydration and fatigue.

By reading the nutrient facts on the back of this NuSalt (potassium chloride), it seems1 tsp contains the RDA of potassium. For comparison, when I make a drink with this, I usually am adding 1/4 tsp to 1L of water.

My understanding is that it takes a significant consumption of potassium to cause elevated levels, unless one has underlying kidney issues or medication. Of course, I would not take far in excess of the RDA without good reasons.

This is an experiment that you can perform yourself although the company does say to consult a physician before using their product. This is because some people should be on a potassium restricted diet such as for kidney disease source.

second source about KCl and diabetes:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3197792/

Many grocery stores sell a table salt substitute called Nu-Salt that is a potassium based salt (KCl) instead of sodium based salt (NaCl).

https://www.amazon.com/Nu-Salt-Substitute-Shaker-3-Ounce/dp/B004EPBMRC

You may find that the potassium salt tastes a bit "acrid" compared to sodium "table" salt.

I recently got into mock tuna chickpea salad sandwiches. I add some kelp flakes.

You can get them at whole foods.

Hey u/jmiles01

I used the keto calculator that's listed in the sidebar and put myself at a 15% deficit at sedentary.

Here's my current macros:
1141 calories (I started w more at a higher weight and scaled back as my weight dropped)

20g carbs or less

68g protein

87g fat or less

I supplement electrolytes with Lite Salt and CALM Magnesium

I feel like hell without them.

Nibble on Maldon’s sea salt and have plenty of Berg’s Electrolyte Powder.

Looking for a NoSalt substitute, I found these two options:

Lo Salt

Look at the back panel for potassium content and compare with no salt

> I accidentally used kosher salt but my wife always complains they're too salty unless I use regular iodized typical stuff.

Salt is salt. No salt is more salty than any other salt.

For finishing salts, you want to stick with flake salt, like this stuff. Whole Foods carries it as well.

/u/anxiety_anne is probably describing something similar to your kosher salt.
