Mini Episode: Keto Electrolytes and Sports Nutrition

If you’re eating a ketogenic/low carb style diet, you might be wondering if you need to take anything other than water with you on your training runs. From experience, I use around 2 serves of electrolytes per hour, however, you should try to work out what amount works for you on your medium runs first. If you live in Australia, here are some common brands that make great low carb electrolytes: - Endura (Low Carb Fuel) - High5 Zero - Nuun Hydration If you live in America, then these are your common options: - Dr Bergs Electrolyte Powder - Zipfizz - Nuun Hydration - Ketolytes You can make your own electrolytes by mixing Diet Salt (Nu-Salt) and a little Lemon Juice together if you’re on a budget. On the longer runs, I suggest making some type of nut butter and buying some reusable food pouches to keep it in. A few suggestions on different nuts you could use would be Almonds, Cashews or Macadamia Nuts. If you don’t have a food processor and want to save some time, here are some options that you can purchase pre-packaged for ease: - Justin’s Classic Almond Butter - FBomb Nut Butter - YumButter - Artisana Foods Almond Butter
