Avoidable “Potholes” on a Vegetarian / Vegan and Even Low-carb / Keto Diet The School of Wellness

The term I was looking for is gluconeogenesis where our intake of carbohydrates is low enough (usually lower than 50g) and our body starts to convert the fat we eat into glucose (not carbohydrates as I said in the video). Generally the more fat adapted we are (where our body gets more of its energy from fat vs carbs), the quicker this fat to glucose process happens (to ensure our body, esp. brain gets a sufficient amount of glucose, since it is a hog in that regard), which is why, in the transition phase of going low carb, keto, or even vegetarian, we'd want to generally taper off carbs slowly to make sure we have sufficient energy and brain function ... especially if we're still generally restricting fat in our diet.
The other major symptom of hyponatremia that I missed is headaches, in case you know people that are regularly getting headaches and don't know why (it's mostly from the combination of sodium restriction and drinking too much water ... both acting to dilute sodium to dangerously low levels in the blood).
Some of the main symptoms of hyponatremia again being ...
1) Brain fog
2) Headache
3) It has us generally unquenchably thirsty and peeing all the time (not retaining water well), even through the night, preventing restful sleep.
4) Raises heart rate at rest (sitting), which can be sustained (tachycardia), oftentimes right after we wake up in the morning.
Here's the name of that salt I mentioned that is higher in magnesium and natural iodine (most sea salt has little, if any iodine).

In regards to protein, at least for a man, it's advised to get around half your weight in grams of protein (at the very minimum 0.35g/lb body weight, or around 50g), per day. More of course, the more physically active you are. So divide that result by 3 to get how much protein you should generally be aiming to eat, each meal 🙂👍!
