My cholesterol and BP went down... kind of counterintuitive. Your body starts treating fats differently than when you are on the carb cycle.

How do y'all get the right salt intake? I've been on keto a couple of weeks and have passed the keto flu stage, but I still have a small lingering headaches. I'm assuming because I'm not getting enough salt in my diet. I'm trying to drink a beef broth each day but getting tired of them. any suggestions?

Kick up your hydration up some too. That was what was causing my headaches for years (not Keto related)
As far as electrolytes, I use various salts in the kitchen (lite salt included for the potassium chloride), a daily multivitamin, and a drink made by "Mio" that is essentially a carb/calorie free sports drink.

I made some low carb biscuits last night. I figured they were just for me. My kids ate them all up. Said they tasted just like the biscuits at Red Lobster. I used this recipe. https://snapguide.com/guides/make-low-carb-biscuits/ Added more cheese than they said too.

The rule of thumb is 2 additional teaspoons of salt to what you were eating before the diet. I use sea salt and pink salt, but also take supplementation and drink propel in my water.
A word of caution about your headaches. Make sure you are not teetering between low carb and ketosis. If your adding to many carbs on certain days you may be kicking yourself in and out and that will give you that feeling too. I know I have to go by total carbs, not net carbs. I cut out all the Atkins bars or anything with sugar alcohol and it solved my problems. Total carbs, not net carbs. Try that.

Video: Salt/hydration and couple other things
Went back and found this video that does a great job of explaining why we get dehydrated on this diet. If your in ketosis I would follow Thomas, he has a lot of great information.

Potassium, magnesium, and sodium intake need to go up. I've gotten to where I can really judge my sodium needs by taste. When my levels are low, salt tastes so frickin good. When I've got enough sodium, the taste can get pretty overpowering quick.
