Eating more salt will not fix your electrolyte problems.

I don’t know why all the carnivore influencers are saying to heavily salt your food and water for electrolytes. I learned the hard way and was adding salt to my steak and water and had a never ending thirst. Salt really dehydrates you from the inside and knocks off the balance of all the other electrolytes. It made me feel so sluggish, crampy and had a slight migraine everyday. I decided to do the opposite of what the influencers were suggesting and slowly weaned off salt until I don’t use any at all. Now I feel more hydrated than ever, my skin is smoother and I’m not downing cups of water all day to quench my never ending thirst. I hope this helps someone because the carnivore diet is great but I do not agree with adding salt.
