During the Keto diet, the formation of excess
ketones in the blood can affect kidneys making them work
more to
excrete Potassium, sodium and calcium which can lead to electrolyte loss in the body and can also affect other main functions of the kidney.
So, I muscled through and followed the online advice: I consumed
more fat to provide
more fuel to my brain, including medium chain triglyceride (MCT) oil, which is quickly absorbed by the lymphatic system and turned into
ketones by the liver, and I consumed electrolytes, which are
more rapidly
excreted from the bodies of low carb dieters.
