I'm with you, Coach Ben! I am accustomed to the low-carb way of eating and when I am not eating carbs, typically am able to fast for the first 12-18 hours of my day. I knew I was going to be buckling down with the new year so I gave myself responsible amounts of my favorite carb sources the last weekend so I get to go through my small sugar detox.
this post, to keep potassium and sodium levels up at the right levels.My favorite trick for getting through the detox without headaches or mental fogginess is making sure I have my electrolytes in balance. I eat enough baby spinach to take care of magnesium, but I use lite salt in my water, like @raptordashzero suggests in
Hey @thisismework, I agree - really important to keep those minerals in balance. I find putting 1/4 teaspoon of coloured salt in my water when I wake up helps with this, and also boosts energy levels almost immediately - try it and let me know how you get on! Mask the flavour of the salt and increase alkalinity by adding the shot of lemon otherwise it might taste a bit salty! >.<
