>Salt used in processed foods is not iodized. Given that people are cooking less at home and buying either restaurant or processed foods, iodine intakes in the U.S. have declined from about 250 μg/day to 157 micrograms/day. Public health authorities recommend 150 μg or more and the need is particularly acute for expectant mothers. Daily Iodine intakes of 1,000 – 1,100 μg are safe for adults and children over 4 years of age. - http://www.saltinstitute.org/news-articles/iodized-salt/
OP, I don't use iodized salt. I prefer sea salt (non-iodized) for taste and try not to use much of that, either. There are some seaweeds that are high in iodine and you can snack on them. Be sure to investigate amounts, though. Some are actually too high for regular consumption. Personally, I don't like the "seafood" taste, so I buy this stuff: http://www.amazon.com/Maine-Coast-Sea-Vegetables-Alternative/dp/B0007SMLUM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396538353&sr=8-1&keywords=kelp+flakes It's kelp, but I find that if I don't use much and use it in meals that have other strong flavors that the flavor doesn't bother me and I can get more than enough iodine easily.
And good for you for asking about iodine! I was low thyroid for a while, even put on meds. My doc never even bothered to ask where I was getting my iodine from. I learned more about nutrition, added the kelp and improved my diet in other ways and I no longer have thyroid problems! And the kelp flakes are much cheaper than thyroid meds :D

Black Himalayan Salt in a tofu scramble adds an eggy flavor and it's vegan. I know eggs are vegetarian. But, I thought I would throw it out there.
Maldon salt is really good for that sort of thing (they are cool little hollow pyramids of salt) or a med-coarse sea salt (I like the grey salt from france - one of my favorite finishing salts). there are a few others, but those would be my top 2 finishing salts (currently).
Kosher should work though, if you want. The only downsides are that it is still a thin flake, and can dissolve before you enjoy your dessert. It also isn't as 'bursty' with salt flavor as a proper finishing salt (as they have bigger pieces), and sea salt has extra flavor from the included minerals that kosher doesn't have. I still keep kosher salt and use it for salting meat and all sorts of things, just usually not as a finishing salt, those will really up your game on things where one would consider salt a proper 'ingredient', like this dessert.
Tried doing the reverse sear?
I've been doing this for over a year and have yet to make a bad steak in the 20 or so times I've done it. A few changes though - I like my steak (Ribeye!) to be about 1.25 inches thick. 215 for about 40 minutes, or until internal temp is 123F. The thicker the cut, the lower the temp and higher the time needs to be.
FLAKE sea salt and pepper 2 hours before going into the oven. I use Avocado oil in the pan, with real butter. Definitely use a digital thermometer for a perfect medium rare at 123 degrees internal temp. Don't forget to rest the meat before the pan (10 mins!), and before serving it. (another 10 mins!)
Sear that puppy on all sides for maximum maillard reaction. You should be just below the smoke point of the Avocado oil before the steak goes in the pan. About 480 degrees I think.
If you did it right, the steak should fall apart with just a fork and be super juicy. Even choice cuts taste amazing with this method.
I wonder if kelp granules might help?
I bought this alderwood smoked salt and this Hawaiian lava salt and they are great. The lava salt isn't really any better flavor wise than a regular sea salt, but it looks great on a steak. The smoked salt is my favorite by far.
It's not sugar, it's salt. You need a lot more salt on keto to maintain an electrolyte balance. Good to post and ask for help, instead of grabbing for something sugary. Get a salty broth to help keep your sodium level up. Do not fall for "electrolytes drinks" from the store, they're not enough for us. We don't hold water weight, and need those minerals replenished throughout the day. If you eat 3 meals, get your green veggies, fish, poultry, a few nuts and seeds in there, to get potassium and magnesium. If you skip those or fast and eat just once a day, then make a daily ketoade to help keep sodium, potassium, and magnesium in your system.
This is a popular method for ketoade:
Sodium & Potassium. 1/4 to 1 tsp
Morton Lite Salt
Magnesium 1/2 to 2 tsp
Natural Calm
Put in a large bottle of water or flavored drink or powerade zero and you have a ketoade. Sip through the day, don't chug ketoade.
You choose your own measurement, maybe start on the low end, see how you feel and up it as needed.
FAQ daily supplement recommendations:
Sodium 5000mg
Potassium 1000mg
Magnesium 300mg
Definitely go with Kalas Classic
You don't mention how long you've been keto. Getting into ketosis only takes a few days, but getting fully fat-adapted can take weeks/months. Until you are fully fat-adapted it's normal to have irregular bowel issues one way (constipation) or the other (diarrhea/urgency). I would say it took me probably two months for things to settle down into regularity. Some advice: water, water, water. Guard your electrolyte intake religiously as well. I put sodium, potassium, and magnesium citrate powder in my 80oz water jug every day. I also take a magnesium citrate capsulesupplement before bed. As for probiotics - I have tried all different kinds of probiotics, but I finally came to the conclusion that a capful of apple cider vinegar in my water jug everyday does the trick minus the rumblies in the tumbly the commercial probiotics gave me. Use the vinegar with the "mother" in it - like this

We served with multiple types of salts. Usually 1 sea salt, 1 slight smoked salt, and one very smoked salt like this one.
The last one is a favorite of mine as it goes great with grilled red meats and all of our steaks were grilled. You dont really cook with it however and its mostly a salt you add just after you finish.
My favorite salt is Fleur de Sel. Quite delicious. This is the type I get.
I really want to try that greek salt now. Any brand name or way to get it in the US? Is it something like this?
I've just discovered smoked sea salt (it's this one) and it's made my food amazing.
Roasted tenderstem broccoli and green beans with a squeeze of lemon juice and this? WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN MY ENTIRE LIFE
Sodium: broth/bouillon. Beef tastes better but chicken is more readily available. I'll put a TBSP into my 24oz coffee cup in the morning, drink it throughout the day, and that's about 2500mg of sodium. More if I counted the splash of Frank's Red Hot. Adding a TBSP of heavy cream really kicks it up a notch.
Potassium: No Salt (NOT Nu Salt or Lite Salt) as it provides 2600mg of potassium per TSP. Nu Salt contains more, if I'm not mistaken. I'll sneak 1/4 tsp of No Salt into that same coffee cup in the morning and usually split the remaining 3/4 tsp into two 28 oz bottles of water with a few squeezes of Mio water enhancer. Looks like Nu Salt might be easier for you to find, at least on amazon. Also, spinach.
Magnesium: two of these
If you're after that eggy taste, kala namak might help (Amazon link). It's sometimes also called black salt. It has a pretty sulfur-y eggy taste, though disclaimer: I haven't eaten an egg in over 25 years so my recollection may be a tiny bit foggy!
I like to take some extra firm tofu, cube it, toss with a bit of cornstarch, kala namak and black pepper and then fry with olive oil in a pretty hot pan.
Okay. Well, sea salt can come in different colours depending on the minerals in the salt, so I wouldn't rule it out. I'm more inclined to think it's a sea salt of some variety, because it was soft flakes, and mineral salt tends to be more crystalline.
Take a look at this site, and see if you spot it;
http://www.saltworks.us/salt_info/si_gourmet_reference.asp#.VDAh2flr7J8
It's most likely some sort of flaked sea salt. You might not be able to get the colour you want easily, but white sea salt will taste much the same. I use Maldon sea salt all the time, it's really nice, without getting into really pricey territory.

My wife used to eat 4 eggs a day before we switched, so she gets it. Anyway, she loves this salt. It has the sulfur taste you need. Just put it on food, tofu scramble, etc, AFTER the food is done cooking because the sulfur taste does cook out of it.
You forgot one of the main ingredients of Poke… Alaea... Hawaiian Salt
You probably can't get Limu where you are, but you can get a small amount dried, in this Poke Seasoning packet. It also comes with the Hawaiian Salt so you kill two birds. It tastes really good and authentic too.
Slo-Mag &
Nu-Salt
These are critical to maintaining your electrolytes, along with sodium. You need more than just added table salt, think heavily salted food like pickles, or my favourite way is broth from these bullion cubes
This.
Although i bought mine in tesco. (Might've been worldfood section near the south african stuff. Might need a large tesco and to do some digging!)
What's your DRA? 1500mg? Whenever I do a low sodium diet, I shoot for roughly 1500mg.
For this type of dietary restriction, I normally stuck to foods that don't need a lot of salt, like veggies, lean meats, and fruit. You'd be surprised how much salt is in bread, crackers, pastries and other baked goods. Pastas and rice also tend to need more salt to add flavor, so I avoid those too, however, rice is more forgiving with how many spices you can add to it.
How do you feel about potassium-free salts and low sodium salt substitutes? There's a pretty good half & half on amazon that has good reviews: https://www.amazon.com/Nu-Salt-Substitute-Shaker-3-Ounce/dp/B004EPBMRC/ref=sr_1_12_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1511449360&sr=8-12&keywords=salt+substitute

They're actually cheaper now, $10 for two. Even better. They're 11oz each, and they go a long way.
You are looking for a solution to successfully get more potassium and sodium in your diet, and I'm just telling you what I have done for ten months without fail. I have no idea why you wouldn't give it a try as it's the perfect fit for what you're needing, but that's your decision. Best of luck to you.
This is an experiment that you can perform yourself although the company does say to consult a physician before using their product. This is because some people should be on a potassium restricted diet such as for kidney disease source.
second source about KCl and diabetes:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3197792/
Many grocery stores sell a table salt substitute called Nu-Salt that is a potassium based salt (KCl) instead of sodium based salt (NaCl).
https://www.amazon.com/Nu-Salt-Substitute-Shaker-3-Ounce/dp/B004EPBMRC
You may find that the potassium salt tastes a bit "acrid" compared to sodium "table" salt.

You mean a salt sampler?
Spice Lab has some pretty good stuff
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00555V9GO/
You can buy [shaker jars] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Herbs-Spices-Seasonings/ROBERTSON-Robertsons-Spice-Salt-Vinegar-100ml/B003N7Y60C/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1485885672&sr=8-1&keywords=Salt+and+vinegar+flavouring)
of that type of flavouring - amazing to shake on crisps, nuts, popcorn or just anything if you want to eventually lose all sense of taste
kalua pork. rub with Hawaiian salt and wrap with banana leaves (some asian markets carry these) while smoking. its amazing!

Since I'd have to eat over 50% daily value of sodium from salt to get enough iodine, I use this http://www.amazon.com/Seasonings-Kelp-Granules-1-50-Ounces/dp/B0007SMLUM/
If you like salt (I do) try using a bunch of Hawaiian red clay salt: https://www.amazon.com/Hawaiian-PaAkai-Alaea-Medium-Grains/dp/B00MA84WKY You kind of have to use a lot to get a lot of the clay flavor which also makes it pretty salty, but that and some black pepper make for a very tropical and unique chicken seasoning. You wouldn't think that clay would taste good but it does.
Hard boiled eggs w/ Nu-Salt, and pop tarts.
Nu-Salt is potassium chloride, and it seriously helps me with cramping. I love the stuff.
Not cheesy, technically...but this pepper is certainly good for

Hey everyone,
I think I came up with a good recipe for ketoade and I'd like to get your feedback on it! I have a 24oz bottle that I fill up once per day to sip on, but I make it in batches (120oz) that last me 5 days.
​
Recipe:
Makes 5 24oz servings.

The only thing I can think of to improve this would be to add more magnesium. What do you think? Any recommendations?
nu salt(per /u/perritosupergordito, contains ingredients derived from honey) and lo salt are pretty good.Totally normal BUT you are probably not supplementing electrolytes properly. Get some Lite Salt or magnesium/potassium supplements. In a pinch, grab a Powerade Zero. You'll feel better soon!! Hang in there!
​
Lite Salt
congratulations! this is what i use for potassium. i think one can order it on amazon
https://www.amazon.com/Nu-Salt-Substitute-Shaker-3-Ounce/dp/B004EPBMRC?th=1
Trace Minerals brand
When I make an electrolyte drink I use a teaspoon of this, but then I'll also add a few shakes of this potassium salt so that i get a good 10-15% of my recommended potassium in one drink.
Problem solved - add them both at the same time, in powder form https://www.amazon.co.uk/Robertsons-Spice-Salt-Vinegar-100ml/dp/B003N7Y60C/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1537272446&sr=8-1&keywords=malt+salt

> I accidentally used kosher salt but my wife always complains they're too salty unless I use regular iodized typical stuff.
Salt is salt. No salt is more salty than any other salt.
For finishing salts, you want to stick with flake salt, like this stuff. Whole Foods carries it as well.
/u/anxiety_anne is probably describing something similar to your kosher salt.
Here's a good place to start. Also, I just found what looks to be a well priced sampler on Amazon.

Amazon Australia has it for like $16.
If you have any sort of desire for an eggy taste, I’d recommend this stuff
This is the salt I use, Casina Rossa Truffle and Salt by Nicola de Laurentiis. Summer truffles are used for this product, of course.
I get this as well, when I do, I know I am low on electrolytes. Adding morton's lite salt to your diet will boost your potassium.
Also, mio electrolytes in your water bottle helps as well. Read up on keto flu for more electrolyte boosting options. Good luck.
In addition to what everyone else has said a few of these will be helpful
It's also called kala namak or black salt and it's used in Indian cuisine a lot. You could try looking for it at an Indian grocery. I just ordered a pound of it from Amazon!
i actually prefer hawaiian salt: https://www.amazon.com/Hawaiian-PaAkai-Alaea-Medium-Grains/dp/B00MA84WKY/
Hey u/jmiles01
I used the keto calculator that's listed in the sidebar and put myself at a 15% deficit at sedentary.
Here's my current macros:
1141 calories (I started w more at a higher weight and scaled back as my weight dropped)
20g carbs or less
68g protein
87g fat or less
I supplement electrolytes with Lite Salt and CALM Magnesium
You can purchase a potassium based salt substitute to add to foods. The taste does not compare to salt, but I could see substituting some salt from a recipe for this, especially in something that has a lot of other spices.
I use this in combination with a liquid magnesium supplement, to make a calorie-free electrolyte drink that I use when outdoors on hot days. I find that this combination decreases my feelings of dehydration and fatigue.
By reading the nutrient facts on the back of this NuSalt (potassium chloride), it seems1 tsp contains the RDA of potassium. For comparison, when I make a drink with this, I usually am adding 1/4 tsp to 1L of water.
My understanding is that it takes a significant consumption of potassium to cause elevated levels, unless one has underlying kidney issues or medication. Of course, I would not take far in excess of the RDA without good reasons.
Yeah, I haven't been there but my pink sea salt comes from the Pakistani Himalayas.
I hate mushrooms but i love truffle salt This stuff is amazing on eggs, vegetables, and it's extremely potent so a little goes a long way.
1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon NuSalt/potassium salt, 1/8 teaspoon food grade epsom salt (magnesium), and 1/8 teaspoon baking soda per 16.9floz/500ml water is the ratio I use. I added the magnesium and the baking soda after reading the Snake Juice guide because I hated swallowing the magnesium tablets I have. Tracking electrolytes on top of calories and macros is kinda frustrating so I just kinda wing it. Some days I drink 1L, others just 500ml, but I guess you should experiment and see what works for you. I also generously salt my food which gives me added support.
I have a little plastic container with 4 compartments that makes it really quick & easy to take a scoop of each and get a water bottle ready to take with me on my morning commute or a hike. I also enjoy adding Ultima Lemonade for flavor but it's probably way overpriced compared to the benefit.

In England, but I order these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Awfully-Posh-Anglesey-Salt-Crackling/dp/B00BPRGJUW/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1467119873&sr=8-3&keywords=pork+scratching
A little expensive, but so good!
If you want your tofu scramble to taste eggy, do yourself a huge favor and buy some [kala namak] (https://www.amazon.com/Spice-Himalayan-BLACK-Crystal-ground/dp/B001O1VDXM/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1466094545&sr=8-1&keywords=kala+namak) - the one linked I bought like four years ago and I still have a half a bag. Use in place of regular salt. It tastes like egg salt and it's bizarre but it really helps out in the scramble department!
Buy some extra firm tofu, smoosh/crumble it into an oiled pan, add in black salt, pepper, I like dill and basil as well, add in some sauteed veggies and soy crumbles, and top off with some good sauce!
I saw your post and yours looked great! Well done my friend. I weighed out my salt, but I do remember thinking that it seemed like waaaaay too much. In the end, the bread didn't taste salty but had great flavor. I used a mined salt called Redmond Salt that comes from nearby the Great Salt Lake where I'm from. The crystals were small enough that they dissolved easily. Probably a lot easier than kosher salt :)
https://www.amazon.com/Foods-Hawaiian-Black-Lava-Salt/dp/B000K6X8KI
You're right, thank you so much for pointing that out. I was thinking 7 grams of sodium, not salt. Quite the difference! :)
The Celtic Sea Salt I have is 1.5 grams of salt per 1/4 tsp, or 6 grams per teaspoon. (Perhaps because it's a coarser grind?) So five 1/4 teaspoon servings of this particular salt per day would put me just over Megan's recommendation. This is really good to know; I must have been mistakenly equating salt and sodium as a 1:1 ratio or similar.
Just to be sure that I'm mathing correctly, Megan is therefore recommending about 2.5 grams of sodium per day, which is half of the /r/Keto FAQ's guidelines?
Himalayan is good stuff but it has trace amounts of potassium at best. I have used [this](NoSalt Sodium-Free Salt Alternative, 11 Oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H185N6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_8ZWwCb8H2HWVG), and [this](Nu-Salt Substitute Shaker, 3 Ounce https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004EPBMRC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_B0WwCbZSF5540) in the past. Its usually on the very bottom shelf in the salt section.
These are the recomended amounts of each per day
5000 mg of sodium
1000-4700mg of potassium
300 mg of magnesium
Your Himalayan is perfect for sodium, which is the big one. Same thing with the magnesium. Potassium needs really vary per person, but if you notice that you're feeling wonky, achy, or cramping up its a sign you're not getting enough and might want to try and track down the no/nu salt.
With regards to your recipe, you can use myfitnesspal (or whatever) to track them and make sure youre getting your recommended amounts. Beyond that it's really personal preference. The only caution about that is to make sure you're spreading it throughout the day, because too much, too.quick has have a really unfortunate diuretic effect.
That looks scrumptious!
I must try the garbanzo flour.
Have you tried the salt that tastes like eggs?
The recipe I use is super simple and is included in the revolutionary Non-Dairy Evolution Cookbook by Chef Skye Michael Conroy. The uncannily eggy flavor in this recipe (and in many others in this feature) is achieved via kala namak salt, a highly sulfurous rock salt that tastes and smells just like eggs.
Ah I use primarily sea salt when I cook, none of the processed iodized anti-clumping stuff, I find it tastes better. I am not into the fancy pink Himalayan salts and other "gourmet salts" in general, but I have no problems with paying a bit more for Kosher salt.
Also, if you haven't yet, you should try at least once, using a quality salt like Maldon for grilling or cast iron skillet frying a steak, you'll find that the crust that develops and flavor that it produces is vastly superior to table salt.
It also produces a much better result when used with Chocolate..

Look at the back panel for potassium content and compare with no salt
​
Those look damn good! I can't tell if that's kosher salt on top or Maldon. If it's not Maldon, try it; it makes a huge difference!
I ordered 16 of these just in case.
It should last a while.

OP GET THIS IT'S SUPER TASTY!
https://www.amazon.com/Nu-Salt-Substitute-Shaker-3-Ounce/dp/B004EPBMRC Is this the right stuff? So you take this every morning on an 18/6 fast or only on 24+ hour fast?
Maldon has pinch tins but no pocket shakers that I'm aware of.
If you want to kick this up a notch, try using Vegenaise & truffle salt.
Potassium - Nu Salt
Just sprinkle it on some stuff throughout the day.
I bought something similar to try out on things like kale and cheese crisps, but the packaging contains no nutritional info and I can't find anything online about it, so I've really no idea what's in it. :(
I find I get more than enough sodium from food and that it is easy to add more if needed. If adding sodium is making your headaches worse, then you need a lot more potassium. That's why I use electromix, because it does not have any sodium, and will help increase potassium ratios. Another (cheaper) way to get potassium only (no other electrolytes) is to dump some "salt substitute" (available in every grocery store) in with whatever you're drinking/eating. It is potassium chloride instead of sodium chloride and does taste salty, but odd.

With electrolytes you need to hit all of those macros, not just salt and magnesium. The ratio is the most important part.
I feel like hell without them.

No it isn't. Himalayan salt for .875 cents per gram and MSG for 1.36 cents per gram. It's more expensive if you buy it from Mercola, of course (1.2 cents per gram for the 3 pack of 17.5 oz, 1.6 cents pre gram for the single 17.5 oz, or 5.97 cents per gram for 100 g), but it's not actually particularly expensive.
Of course, you use a lot less MSG than salt, but MSG is NOT a salt replacement, and if it needed salt without MSG, it still needs it with MSG.

Kelp flakes or kelp granules are dried seaweed!
I’ve had fish sauce, I’ve only been vegan for about a year. They aren’t exactly like fish sauce (not liquid) but they do help add a little umami balance.
Hey, I was going through the same thing. My solution that has been partially stated is nu-salt for potassium, Seasonello for sodium and iodine (It's sea salt with iodine), and Ultima Replenisher for the magnesium(It's just a pure electrolyte blend with 100mg of magnesium per serving). I use these because I cycle from water fasting to a keto during the week and all my electrolytes suffer unless you replenish them. I hope this helps and I highly recommend cycling water fasting and keto since fasting puts your body into ketosis. I watched an incredible video albeit a little long on water fasting by Dorian Wilson. (https://youtu.be/DghrZNUP5vo) GL with the diet.

For drinks, consider getting into fermentation. Make milk kefir, water kefir, kombucha. Also homemade coconut and almond milk are cheap and easy to do.
You could potentially buy these things rather than make them but the milk kefir in stores is not the real deal, water kefir (probiotic tonic/soda is how its usually marketed) and kombucha are usually loaded down with sugar. And coconut and almond milk usually have all kinds of added emulsifiers and preservatives.
I'm not big into herbal teas, something I want to learn more about. The only one I normally do is turmeric tea.
As far as the iodine and broccoli, from what I understand the raw cruciferous veggies essentially block iodine from reaching the thyroid to do it job. So you'll want to take more than the daily allowance to counter this. Sea salt has about 10% the daily allowance per serving. These kelp granules have over 300% the daily allowance per serving and are actually rather salty so they can be used as a salt replacement. http://amzn.com/B0007SMLUM
Although if you are already eating seaweed as a snack you are probably already fine.
