Reduced Sodium Salt 66% less Sodium than Regular salts! Large12.25 oz container! Great value!
This Lo Salt is in many supermarkets and on amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lo-Salt-Reduced-Sodium-Alternative/dp/B004TEVING/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_325_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=6ZK1X8T04R1Q1TBMNTSW
Those symptoms sound like a lack of electrolytes and/or dehydration. Try drinking more water and supplementing electrolytes. If it is electrolytes, after supplementing, the dizziness/headache feeling should go away quickly, and in a while, you should get your energy back, maybe next day.
For starters, I would just start with sodium specifically, just by drink a glass or two of water with a teaspoon of table salt in it.
Better would be getting salt with potassium in it, though, like this Lo Salt https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004TEVING - they sell these or similar ones in most supermarkets.
For magnesium, you can get pills. But don't buy chelated magnesium, I heard it gives you diarrhea, I use magnesium malate - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0013RGUK8 - It says it is 10 calories a pill though and recommends 3 pills a day - I usually only took 1 or 2 depending on how I felt.
Never really supplemented calcium, and most of the times don't take magnesium either. Go by the feeling, start with sodium/potassium salt first and see how you feel.
I haven't done a fast longer than 4 days though.
Is this the right thing? https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B004TEVING/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1525650040&sr=8-6&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=no+salt&dpPl=1&dpID=5190vwFiSzL&ref=plSrch
Hey I'm in Germany and there is no 'lite salt' here either, but there is an equivalent product called blood pressure salt (Blutdrucksalz), which is 50% potassium, 50% sodium.
You in UK have an even better product. 66.6% potassium. 33.3% sodium.

Chelated Magnesium
Cod Liver Oil (1000mg)
Lo Salt (Potassium)
Sodium = Use more salt on your food.
Additional supplements:
Multivitamin
Psyllium Husk (good for baking/bulking recipes/fibre for bowel movements
You can also get magnesium and potassium I believe from spinach, kale and avocado
I actually do use High5 Zero, usually 1h before running/exercise. It seems to be carb-free. The amount of magnesium looked decent enough to me, but potassium and sodium were on the low side so I also add a bit of Lo-Salt to it (1/8 tsp):
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lo-Salt-Reduced-Sodium-Alternative/dp/B004TEVING
That should add about 200mg potassium and 100mg sodium.
Doesn't change the taste much if at all.
Note that you will probably stop feeling bad in a few days even if you don't supplement, its just that things are much easier if you do. I still do get the symptoms from time to time (maybe once per week, when I forget to eat), they're just significantly milder
I also recommend carrying a couple of Knor chicken stock cubes with you. Half a cube, 1 cup of hot water and a bit of double cream makes for some really nice soup that adds about 0.5g salt, usually enough to get rid of the symptoms.
My plan is to also try Pret's bone broth: https://www.pret.co.uk/en-gb/1903-soups-bone-broth.aspx as it seems to hit all the good points at once.
Regarding exercise, I would recommend to wait for at least a week or two after starting keto to become better adapted to burning fat for fuel. More info: https://www.verywell.com/what-is-keto-adaptation-2241629
nu salt(per /u/perritosupergordito, contains ingredients derived from honey) and lo salt are pretty good.Looks pretty good to me.
PS: www.examine.com is a phenomenal resource for supplement information; it's well respected on /r/ketogains and /r/supplements. It's where I typically go first to find supplement information.
Lo-salt is similar though it doesn't contain iodine. It's ingredients are: Potassium Chloride (66% min.) Sodium Chloride (33.3% max.) Anticaking Agent (Magnesium Carbonate)

Look at the back panel for potassium content and compare with no salt

I'm salting everything (even my tea and coffee!) taking 500mg magnesium twice a day and at least a teaspoon of this in the water I drink during the day https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lo-Salt-Reduced-Sodium-Alternative/dp/B004TEVING for potassium. I'm eating my greens, broccoli, green beans, kale and spinach...I'm eating more green stuff now than I ever did!
