I live in a desert and salt is literally life out here. It’s so easy to be dehydrated here because people don’t always realize just how much they are sweating when it dries really quickly. Personally I do better with copious amounts of high quality salt like pink salt or sea salt and use no salt and salt on basically everything including in my water. But some people don’t like salt and don’t do well with salt. Glad you figured out what your body needs.

Hi Bella!!! I’m suuuuuuper grateful for this video of yours!!! I’ve just finished my one week experiment of decreasing salt and I feel + look so much better!!! I’ve always been a gal who like heavy flavored food so I naturally salt my meat a lot, plus I work out every day so I figured I can always just sweat the salt out of my body. But cutting the salt back makes my face a whole size smaller and I feel much more energetic now my workout- a huge thank you genius Bella!!!

@Dave Nustain no I didn’t. Would that make a difference?

@SaucyJack88 3 жыл бұрын

@Dave Nustain lots of misinformation in this thread. Salt is vital for survival. Salt contains sodium, and sodium is essential for blood regulation, the maintenance of cell membranes, as well as the regulation of your body's pH levels. If you eat a lot of tomatoes, cheese, or processed meats that has sodium-nitrate added to it, you might not need to add any salt to your diet. But if you don't, you're gonna need that salt, at least 0,5 grams per day, but preferably more. Kidneys don't remove salt, they simply split the sodium-chloride into sodium and chloride and add it to the bloodstream to create new blood cells, while at the same time filtering old blood out and turning it into urine. Not enough salt is actually way more damaging to your kidneys than too much salt, but sufficed to say, both situations are bad. Just listen to your body. If you crave salt, it probably means your kidneys aren't getting enough salt.

I'm on a low salt diet due to an old sports injury. I also live in the deep south, and I don't use air conditioning to keep acclimated to the weather = lots of sweating. I need to add magnesium and sodium to my diet. I use salt substitute for my potassium. When I was unemployed I found it was cheaper to buy magnesium pills than to buy magnesium-rich food. I drink milk to get calcium, but I keep calcium pills on hand for heartburn - slowly drinking a glass of water with a calcium pill dissolved in it is very effective.

@Chucanelli 8 ай бұрын

This was super valuable for me. I did a TON of research before starting carnivore (it’s almost all anecdotal, but it gave me some general ideas of what to experiment with) and the advice was often to salt more, more more more salt. So I’ve been pushing myself to salt beyond my normal taste. I’m not having any acute problems 2 weeks in that may point to salt, just really bad restless legs at night, which (I think?) suggested magnesium deficiency. But “more salt” felt off for me. Going to cut it back and see what happens. Thank you for all the effort you put into making this a quality, information-dense video. ❤

@@SteakandButterGal I have been carnivore for 4y and keto for another 4y before that. I experimented a lot with salt as well. I lift weights regularly and I like long hikes. my conclusion is that salt supplementation is necessary otherwise, I get painful cramps or even spasms that may last for a minute or so! however, there's a sweet spot and no need to take teaspoons of salt! I found that just salting my steaks does the trick. if you overdo it, you might get diarrhea ad feel thirsty all the time and wake up in the middle of the night to pee. I believe people can get away without salt if they're not very active, but if you're active, find a sweet spot where you don't get cramps/spasms and do not feel thirsty and do not have to get up to pee at night.

I just feel a lot better having salt in my diet. My favorite is the Celtic grey salt😁

This new eating style makes me feel very elated and happy, and solving my eating disorders, anxiety, eczema, and insomnia too. But who knows, as I evolve more spiritually, I may give up salt too. I always wanted to eat spiceless and considered it to be a sign of spiritual advancement, and you must be pretty evolved spiritually. Ha! I may catch up with you one day.

I literally just finished telling someone how important salt is for retaining electrolytes when you go carnivore, opened KZfaq, and saw your video in my subscription box (not exaggerating the time frame, that was exactly the sequence of events). LOL. Oops. I've heard conflicting info about how necessary it is to consume salt, though it appeared to me that people who say no salt are in the extreme minority, so I didn't consider that idea all that much. However, your video has caused me to think I should give it a try, because I always find it hard to wake up in the morning, but I never assumed it was related to salt. So who knows? I like to experiment on myself as well, so I'm gonna start waning off of salt starting from today. Only thing is that I do work out five days a week, so not sure how well no salt would work, but that's what experimenting is for. However, my food is salty enough that I find myself sometimes quaffing nearly a gallon of water afterward in probably under an hour, so I could definitely stand to cut back on it. One question: Over the course of how much time did you wane off of the salt after you experimented with consuming it? Turn on bell notifications? I think you mean Bella notifications. (Fairly new to this channel, so maybe that joke's already been done to death.)

I was reading a research paper that said 30% of the population is salt sensitive (SS). I’ve eaten salt all my life. But I have foot pain, and it’s much worse the morning after eating weiners, sausage, or bacon. But I do love a little salt. I’m going to try to reduce it. I think I’m more addicted to it than sugar, and that’s saying a lot!

I'm 16 days in, still need regular electrolytes. But I am DRY, and routinely up and own peeing and drinking water, which I noticed got worse when I went on a sugar binge for 4 months bracketing xmas. BUT I'm finding myself "browning out" within 2-3 hours in the morning if I don't eat, and I used to naturally do omad or twomad per my natural hungry times. I hope as I adjust I will be able to go back to that naturally. You have said 6 months. Deal! 👍

This is interesting, been exploring salt all day... Conclusion is, that I will try to remove it, just have a little. Salt is such a diverse one. I also think you dont need to add electrolyte supplements every day. Will maybe take them when I come home from the sauna. Im happy to get obsessed with this stuff. It is so interesting.

I've recently done my own experiment with salt and found similar results to you. One thing Ill elaborate on: I recorded my sleep using an app and found that whenever I was eating salt, I snored. Heavily. It didn't sound like me at all. WHen I cut salt out, the snoring stopped. I think the reason salt made my sleep so poor was that the bloating caused a narrower airway to breathe through resulting in difficulty breathing especially at night and in certain sleeping positions. This might've been what caused my poor sleep

I'm the opposite, I have to salt my food and add mineral drops to my water or I get fatigue and terrible cramps. I never had this when I was a carb eater. But then I do a lot of exercise and get hot and very sweaty 4 to 5 times a week.

@daveberntson4081 3 жыл бұрын

I cut back on salt if I'm not sweating, but, if I am sweating a lot, such as working hard on a hot summer day, I crave/use a lot of salt. I remember one day in particular many years ago, when I couldn't seem to make my food salty enough. In frustration, I remember considering taking the lid off and just pouring it on. I am sure I used more than a teaspoon of salt that day. Now I am retired and I don't work as hard, but adding salt had become somewhat of a habit. Old habits die hard, but, I feel better if I watch my salt intake.

@PapyrusHoop 3 жыл бұрын

I've been so curious about this lately... Whether or not to mess with my electrolytes and whether I've been maybe throwing myself off by doing so. I so get cramps and that kind of thing.. headaches etc sometimes... But I've been suspicious of my electrolyte use. Not the least of which because it doesnt seem to help! So I have been eating some of the egg shells to balance my electrolytes with calcium and bind some loose stool. Definitely only a little as an experiment, and it has shifted my poops pretty immediately. I'm thinking I'll try not salting and see what happens. I am someone who can sweat a lot at times, but honestly, I'm wondering if the amount of sweat in high intensity activities might lessen with less salt. In the end, it all comes back to... Is this something we would have been doing ancestrally? Does this make sense? Or am I being overly "problem solving" human and getting in the way of nature. Learning every day what it means to "listen to my gut". It's just on point! What a journey! Sidebar, I really respect how you followed your intuitive cravings or lack thereof with salt in the beginning... Loving your content so much! I'm so grateful at this time as I'm beginning my carnivore journey and working on healing autoimmune and inflammatory conditions... And be vital! We weren't designed wrong. I believe that. 👏🙏

Salt is a vital mineral though... animals in nature seek salt rocks and lick them (not sure if you were aware of that, I'm a hunter myself). We sometimes put salt rocks out in the wild and watch animals come to lick the salt. However, too much of a good thing can become a bad thing. But that doesn't mean you should completely avoid it.

@rbabados9967 3 жыл бұрын

Have you noticed that animals that look for salt licks are herbivores

@unassailable6138 Жыл бұрын

No, no,no. Salt is not a vital mineral, sodium is. Herbivores lick salt sometimes, carnivores such as humans, lions, tigers, omnivores, DO NOT. They get their sodium from meat, potassium is more important than sodium. Salting food is a stupid manmade habit , as awful as eating sugar. IF you eat meat you are getting all the sodium you need, 300mg a day.

I think people should read The Salt Fix before following this advice. Keep in mind that not all salt is equal. I've upped my salt intake and I feel better. My mouth isn't dry and I don't drink water till after about a half hour after I eat for better digestion. I'm not really thirsty throughout the day. It's also helped with cravings and my workouts. My skin even looks great and I'm less bloated. It could be that you consumed the wrong salt and too much.
