Exactly! It’s optional for those who want it later on mainly!
Electrolytes & Supplements: Water Fasting

Sorry if this doesn’t help a lot of people here, since this is a Swedish brand, but if there’s any Scandinavian people here (or if they ship to European countries?) I really recommend these mineral drops from Holistic. Pretty expensive but it contains 61 (!!) minerals, and you only need 1 tsp a day!

Thank you soo much for the information; starting my fasting journey today at 4pm…this is my first time and although I’ve been easing into it for about a week now I am a little bit scared…I’m doing this for healing so I’m aiming for 15-21 days.

I usually take Electrolyte Stamina in pill form in addition to some Himalayan salt. Helps keep the dizziness, fatigue, and heart palpitations at bay. Other vitamins typically make me feel sick because of an empty stomach so I tend to stay away from that… I’ve also read/listened to doctors that say our bodies have stored vitamins that are released when depleted through food and supplementation. But I imagine prolonged fasts lasting weeks may need some adjustments.
We’re all different so supplements vary for each individual depending on their needs I suppose.

You will lose a lot including water weight, really depends on your body, however AFTER you start eating and the water weight comes back, you can usually see a permanent loss of 0.5 lbs per day of fasting. This being said you can lose up to 1lb a day, but that includes the water weight. Instead of focusing on how fast you will lose, try to focus on how you feel, and going through the journey to build your relationship with food!

I’ve started to like the taste of salt in black coffee.

I’ve been using Emergen-C brand ElectroMix electrolytes for years (Bikram yoga and running recovery). It’s potassium and magnesium based, with no sodium and just a touch of maltodextrin flavoring (10 cals.), and isn’t priced ridiculously. You can get it on iherb.com.
I’m going to use it the first few days to prevent any headaches or extreme fatigue. I’ve been adding a dash of Him. salt to my water now and again during the day. I’m on day 2!

By later on do you mean further into an extended fast once symptoms begin to arise?

Both, further on and/or when symptoms start to arise or you feel the need to use it!!

Just be aware, flavored supplements may affect insulin spikes.
