Hi again, maybe I worded it wrong, but was meaning that i was forever bloated and uncomfortable BEFORE starting your program, Everything is fine now. Dont have any problems and down 1.5kg and hasnt even been a week. I LOVE this program. Thank you

Hi Julie,

I’m not 100% sure which program you’ve started, but bloating after eating is generally a sign of poor digestion, gut health issues or low stomach acid. This doesn’t necessarily have to do with dairy? – I’m guessing your question is two part then? Milk contains a lot of sugar, also known as lactose, which doesn’t fair well on a ketogenic diet. However, if you are tracking macros, you’ll know exactly how much sugar you CAN have, coming from multiple different sources. I hope this helps!

that is what I got Gatorade Zero, but wanted to make sure since i’m new to this diet…thank you for answering.

Hi Mary – Gatorade is high carb. I believe they might have a “zero sugar” version maybe?

2,500mg is not a problem! You can also do this by adding cream of tatar (a common baking ingredient) which is a cheap form of potassium.

Good question Trent, I’ll update this post with those measures. Here are some quick answers for you in the mean time.

The RDA for magnesium is 310–420 mg for adults.
The RDA for potassium is 600 to 1000 mg (40 to 50 milliequivalents [mEq]) per day for adults is adequate
The RDA for magnesium is 2000mg for adults.
The National Health and Medical Research Council has set an ‘Adequate Intake’ of 20–40 mmol (460–920 mg) of sodium per day. This corresponds to 1.15–2.3 grams of salt.

Thanks
Trent
