Thomas, I think you need a disclaimer in your about page. Something to the effect that these are all your opinions and that entitled lazy people shouldn’t hold you accountable for any changes in your perspective or message. Then you can direct all the troll types there to read said disclaimer. Just a thought that will save time justifying what you do to thick headed types.
As a person who once taught multimedia in a high school, I don’t think some people have an understanding of how much time and effort goes into the production of these videos. Kudos for having sponsors while maintaining your excellent content. When you see a 10 to 15 minute video, it takes HOURS, sometimes DAYS to get to the final product. He doesn’t just wake up in the morning, scratch his head, and say “hmmm, I think I’ll talk about salt today.” And then film it and upload it. Gotta have an idea first, research and gather content, write a script, videotape it, edit it, and upload it. And editing is it’s own little time-consuming process. Your content has helped me, dude! Still a long way from where I want to be but I’m on the road. Thanks for spending your time trying to help people. ❤️
Now i understood my problem.. though i love keto and hv been on it for one year, sweet craving was always an issue.. my blood test revealed that i am sodium deficient.. now i am able to connect the dots.. thank u thomas.. u r an asset to the keto world
Thank you Thomas for inspiring me to start IF over a year ago. I went from 410 lbs. to now 285 lbs. Went from a size 4x shirt, size 58-60 waist pants to now 2x shirt and 44 waist pants. My blood pressure was 197/101 and , I think, on the verge of I don' t know what. I watched a dozen of your videos the day my Dr. told me I had to do something about my weight. You literally saved me and cannot Thank you enough for that. I never had a "goal weight", but would hopefully like to get to 250 lbs. by my birthday, June 21. Thank you again Thomas.
My husband is a snow plow driver and the Redmond Real Salt is what they put on the road! LOL! Every year when Redmond comes to their office they bring loads of samples, which he brings home to me.
We have friends whose son had the condition you were talking about. He almost died several times before he was diagnosed. When they found out what was causing his problem they were able to control it. One of the things they had to do was keep salt shakers all over the house where he could reach them. When he was still a toddler he would shake out the salt and lick it off of everything. When we were travelling with him we would stop and get him french fries and load them with salt. He's now 51 and living a normal life but still has to have loads of salt on everything.
Just a thought, based on what you said... You stated, that in fasted state or keto - insulin surpressed and as result of it, kidneys secret extra sodium. So maybe cravings for sugar is not a "crossed wires" but type of defencive mechanism of a body in order to preserve salt. Person eats sugar, insulin rises, kidneys secreting less salt. It does look logical (at least for me :) )
When I started Keto in November, I noticed that I would get dizzy if I got up too fast, or turned quickly. Through research, I began adding more Salt to my diet. I also drink a glass of water with Himalayan salt in it, usually once a day. Problem solved.
omg I have been so salt deprived due to no teeth and most salt snacks are hard and crunchy. I have been craving salt food but resisting due being trained my life that salt is bad. Just now went and put salt in my hand and licked it and got a head rush. I am overwhelmed and how much I needed that. I am literally in tears. THANK YOU!!!
This is yet one more reason to consume fermented foods made with salt brine with every meal every day. Allows you to get your salt, probiotics, prebiotics AND low-carb veggies in one meal. Lower carbs and salt means no cravings while being keto, diabetic & paleo diet friendly.
This explains why I always got severe muscle cramps when I was doing Paleo. The need for salt was never mentioned. Thanks for the Redmond's Real Salt bundle. Those are all of the products that I needed. You saved me a bunch of $.
Also, thanks to the information in this video, I realized that I wasn't adding enough salt to my water. I increased the amount (I didn't measure) & added some lemon juice, I feel much better. Bonus, no more muscle cramps. Thanks for all the info, Thomas.
This explains why I always craved Salt & Vinegar chips when I use to be skinny!! Lucky for me I've never had a sweet tooth for it to switch to!! But my thyroid went out of wack & I gained 40 lbs!! So I started keto 3 months ago & dropped 9 lbs. in 21 days & gained almost all of them back even though I've been in ketosis for 2 weeks straight! My legs are cramping almost every night, I have edema, a headache & extremely fatigued. A nurse told me I was adding too much salt (even though I only eat once or twice a day with less than 10 carbs). I totally think after hearing this I'm not getting enough salt!! Thanks Thomas!! God bless!
I have been using Redmond's primarily for salt. The reason is they provide analysis results on-line and I have been unable to find a definitive analysis for the pink salts. I put some in the filter before the coffee when making coffee and it keeps the blood levels up in the normal range. Have also heard that some Himalayan pink salt, mined in the same region, has excessive lead content. So know your supplier.
I started keto this week and was anticipating sugar cravings, but I’ve been watching your videos for months researching this before starting. I also took the LMNT electrolytes drinks you recommended everyday since I started and I’ve had zero sugar cravings so far. I also add pink Himalayan salt to my eggs in the morning (and even started adding a pinch to my coffee). So far this has been keeping me feeling good. Praying I don’t get the Keto flu too bad (or at all lol) and this continues to abate sugar cravings. Thank you so much for all of your advice!! It’s made a world of difference so far.
Thanks so much for this salt advice. I have never been able to fast because I would feel sick after 12 hours of water fasting. But I tried it again by adding a tiny amount of sea salt to my water in the morning and I actually feel better. I found out that a combination of 1/2 cup of coffee and a pinch of salt in the morning gives me the energy I need to start my day!
Thomas, why do you always come up with a video that always explains my current issues? I'm always craving something sweet during a long fast. Now you have possibly answered my biggest problem. Its a sodium problem ive got, not a need for actual sugar? That's amazing!!
I hace been taking 1/4 TSP of Redmond real salt in a warm glass of water first thing in the morning for two years now, because I believe that good hydration in my cells make them work better. I am really glad that Thomas is talking about good quality salt nos. Ladies with moderate incontinence: this salt can reverse it, I give testimony myself. God bless your heart Thomas!
Could it be inferred the body "detects" low sodium and has two ways to compensate? Either by consuming glucose therefore increasing insulin and therefore decreasing secretion of sodium OR by bringing in more sodium we hack the system to stop craving sugar??? Either way it's a beautiful example of systems redundancy.
Dr Gundry recommends sea salt with iodized iodine. Lots of sea salt and Himalayan salt does not have iodine. We need iodine. Costco has Himalayan salt with iodine at a great price (Canada).
Great video as always and a lesson for me to go for salt when I'm craving sugar. Some seniors also need more salt . . . My mother (early 80s and eats a whole food diet) would have dizzy spells and would always go for orange juice as a pick-me-up. She was also urinating all the time. I had her try a pinch of Hsalt under the tongue (with water after) throughout the day. Problem solved. Also, she didn't need to go to the bathroom during the night as often. Another problem solved.
I remember being told, when I was younger, that salty foods and salt in GENERAL is a huge enemy for our body. I never really followed that "tip", but now I realize how our relatives as "influencers" know way less than they think they do.
Been on Carnivore 4 weeks...salt is a MUST for energy metabolism. Taking about 7 grams daily with food and a few 1/4 teaspoon servings with good quality water, especiallybefore a workout (playing with dosing) Redmon is the best.
What do you say about red salt? I think it’s much better compared to pink salt. Idk about the salt your promoting compared to red salt but in my opinion I think is better than pink. What are your thoughts?
I have a history of working in Health Food Stores and knew about the FDA’s Criteria on Labeling, but was unaware about Pink Himalayan Salt. I most definitely will be taking advantage of the Package offer and switching to Redmond’s Real Salt. Thank’s Thomas
I grew up on a low sodium diet because my mother is hypertensive. I hated it and never agreed with it. I think it made her crabby. However she’s not fat; she’s super skinny. She also doesn’t drink water, only coffee. I have never seen my mother take a drink of water. I think we need sodium chloride, but we do not need the sodium chemicals found in processed foods. I try to eat food in natural states, and use pink Himalayan salt. I agree with this video 100%. Btw, if you feel hungry, you might be thirsty. Try drinking a pitcher of margarita and see how you feel then!😂
I posit that the reason that we crave sugar while salt depleted is that the body is trying to move us out of a ketogenic state. As soon as we are not in the ketogenic state, our body quits shedding sodium at an extreme rate. We can live off of stored fat/muscle, but we die without salt. I love the Redmond's salt. I found it at my local health food store( not a chain, ran by professionals) a few years ago and haven't looked back. [thumbs up] I am glad they are sponsoring your channel.
When I boil broccoli or cabbage in salty water I always drink the hot water with my dinner. I'll stick with himalayan salt because it's readily available here in England. Sugar is the devil's salt.. 👍
@@racquelholness169 .. All the supermarkets sell Himalayan pink salt or any health food shops. I get mine off eBay. A kilo bag of coarse grind is about £5. I'll bet Amazon do it as well. The supermarkets are expensive though.. 👍 🇬🇧
I totally agree. I am not crazy about salty foods. However, last night I was craving a snack, my water intake was good but i was missing something. I decided to have a pickle and yes I drank some of the juice and I felt better. I use only use pink or black salts. I am so grateful that you prove it with science "salt is not the enemy".
All vegetables have natural salts (celery, leeks, artichokes, kale, cabbage, spring onions, etc), and if you're eating them every week, there is no way you would be sodium deficient. I have a high sensitivity to salt, so I have not added salt (not even pink himalayan or kosher salt that everyone's been telling me about) for 11 years now, and I don't have a sodium deficiency or low salt intake according to the tests I've taken. I don't crave salty or sweet foods (I actually find sweet fruits a bit too sweet, and have no need to add stevia or monkfruit or coconut nectar to my smoothies) as my palette has cleansed and my tastes have changed. Of course, because of this, I can never walk in to a place and casually order a meal because, guess what, salt is in everything..! It's astonishing that, even at health food restaurants, you'd be hard pressed to find a salt-free meal because they pre-prep their ingredients, and salt is a flavour enhancer. Without it, customers with regular palettes will say that the meal tastes bland.
I bet if Thomas put out the video without mentioning any salt companies people would ask him which brand he recommends. Since it’s a sponsored video people wanna attack him instead. Don’t listen to all these negative comments Thomas keep up the good work and Thanks for the great free content as always.
There is an old hunters trick here in East Africa. During the dry season when there is no water to be found, only baboons know the last spots and they hide them well. Anyways, we get a hold of one and feed it a lot of salt over the cause of a few hours. It makes them thirsty and then we let it loose. It will lead us directly to the hidden water at a run. Always works.
I've always eaten a high salt diet and I maintain that this advice to cut your salt intake to practically nothing is irrelevant to most people. I think there are some people who maybe react badly to a high sodium diet but they are not the majority.
I usually supplement 1tsp total of pink Himalayan salt into my waters throughout the day(1/2 tsp into 2 bottles of water). Is that enough? Or do I need more?
You have to listen your body depends on a lot of factors such as your activity level the environment you live , how often you sweat etc once you figure this out just continue to salt until you feel like you no longer have the salt cravings
The last piece of health advice from main stream medicine I was following (low salt)... Now busted. For about 3 months now I've been eating as much pink himalayan salt as my taste buds asked for, and so far so good no crazy high blood pressure or any other side effects.
Low sodium does help in many ways but getting more potassium works a lot better. If you're on a high sodium diet, you need significantly more potassium in your diet. RDA is 4G of potassium vs 2G of sodium. So if you're eating 5G of sodium a day, you need 10g of potassium to maintain that ratio!
That is fine and dandy with salt consumption as long as you don't have high blood pressure. If you have hypertension then too much salt is detrimental to your health and is proven to elevate your blood pressure.
FYI: Amazon is a better deal. Two bags are seventeen dollars. Thomas' deal is more due to fact that there is a six dollar shipping charge. You end up with less for more money in my opinion. Two bags @ amazon (course, fine). Check out Thomas' deal anyway and compare. Thanks for another GREAT video Thomas!!!!
I buy a variety of salt from Redmonds, to French grey salt to Hawaiian red salt. Doesn’t hurt to eat some seaweed, too. Long believed that a lot of the salty snack habit is due to need for salt. Remember our body fluids are salty.
Salt (sodium chloride), it has chemical property of holding water with it which you can well appreciate during high humidity it becomes moist or cakes(nowadays anti-caking chemicals added in table salt to prevent caking like calcium silicate, sodium and potassium ferrocyanide, poly dimethyl siloxane etc), So in our circulatory system it holds water and increases circulating blood volume causing increased pressure on blood vessels, in young healthy subjects blood vessels are elastic and they sustain such pressure rise but over the course of age they start to deposit fat in them causing luminal narrowing and hardening giving rise to stroke. So every type of salt either table salt(over fortified for marketing) sea salt( with micro plastic and pollutants found in modern sea) , rock salt(is dried natural pure sea water trapped in the mountains/rocks /layers of land) retains water to raise the blood pressure "SO EVERY SALT ASSALTS" as every food in nature has appropriate amount of salt (sod Chloride) in it and this is sufficient for healthy human. However in few medical condition salt therapy may be needed.
Redmond Salt in water has caused me to not feel dehydrated. It is said that it causes water to get into cells where it belongs, rather than building up in the area around them. From how I feel since drinking Redmond Salt water I tend to think it must be true. Also, one's skin looks better when it becomes properly hydrated.
Well this explains a lot. When I am working away from home and using the gym at work, almost daily, I crave that unsupervised and unprotected soft serve ice cream machine. Yet when I eat that Jimmy Dean sausage patty, it holds me over really well.
My grandma died at the age of 89 three years ago and I never got to ask her why she was giving the sheep big boulders of salt in the summer... (there are many things I wish I would have asked her). That explains it
This would explain why I have been craving sweets and have an insatiable appetite since I stopped eating bacon every day. Obviously I haven’t done enough to replace that salt
Going very low carb I experienced dizziness and heart palpitations. My heart didn`t beat faster, just harder ... a lot - scary stuff! But I knew what to do, I took a 1/2 tsp of salt and 20 minutes later everything was back to normal as if nothing had happened. Never happened again after that one incident.
I never heard of pink himalayan salt before I seen Thomas delauers video 3 years ago!!! Now I put it on everything I eat!!! Now I'm off to whole foods to buy redmans salt!!!
My mom was drinking them before she started keto, because of her hypothyroidism, but since she started keto, she had no need for them. But she didn't drink them every day, because those pills were really strong,, only when the water started to feel like it's suffocating her (that happened like every third day)
The side effects of salt deficiency are also completely horrid and kick in fast and have very little margin. Compared to salt surplus which has a very large margin and mild side effects. Good thing then that the FDA and WHO recommend daily salt intake below maintenance levels...
I did strict keto low sodium for a year lost 140+ lbs and drank nothing but water and black coffee. I mean eggs beef chicken broccoli and asparagus that’s about it. I gave up and gained it all back and starting over again from 385 lost 25 already.
Im all for pink Himalayan and that real salt brand. But why isn’t Morton Lite salt mentioned more? Sure it’s more “processed” but at least you know is consistent and has the perfect ratio of sodium/potassium. That’s my go to when I’m at work so I’m not playing and making sure I’m getting enough of the actual potassium and not just overloading salt. Then I take magnesium glycinate before bed and golden
Hmmm. I've had Real Salt for a while. I've noticed that both Pink Himalayan salt and Real Salt note on their packaging that they don't contain iodine. Do you need the iodine?
Ruben Aguirre honestly, it’s just about providing value with the education. Truth is, the more content I create, the more sponsors I need to have. But I will ALWAYS tie it in with good content.
@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial I totally get it. You are probably my favorite content creator at the moment and I don't mind trying these new products (discount codes definitely help). Hopefully it all helps your channel so you can keep making great content.
I struggle with water retention sometimes and it's most apparent after my 9-hr shifts at work. I get edema in my ankles, even though I drink plenty of water and use Redmond Salt on food.
Excellent. I just get a lb of Redmond's after getting turned on to Himalayan last year. Used to think this was all hype and ordinary cheap Morton's with iodine was just fine. Now I put quality salt and potassium in my whey shakes and heavily salt my OMAD re-feed meals as well as take it in the morning with water before fasted gym. It used to be before keto that even small amounts of light salting was too intense for me. Now it's just part of the food I eat and a nice background kind of flavor that is not so overbearing as it used to be.
WOW, WOW, I just figured this out for myself the other day. I was always craving sugar in the form of these great fudge ice cream bars! and peeing all the time. Just by chance I started putting some salt onto my food (I'm on Keto) and instantly my craving for those darn fudge bars Stopped. It's only been a few days, but I hope this was my problem. I will definitely be buying some of Tom's salt to continue my personal test.
My wife keeps complaining that she's plateaued but I keep losing even though we're eating the same things. I tell her constantly it's lack of salt. She hates adding salt to her water or to top off her food, yet I do.
Omg i stalled this past couple months. I was drinking a lot of salt water and then stopped. Ive lost some inches but not like i was. Think I'm going to go back to my pink Himalayan salt and cream of tartar and ACV water throughout the day. I was losing 7 to 10 pounds a
The study published on friday in the medical journal JAMA concluded that eating eggs is related to ill cardiovascular event.. It would be awesome if you take us through this study.. It's frightening for the Keto community!
I bought the pink Himalayan salt because you recommended it in your past video... I m receiving butcher box because of you as well. And fire kettle bone broth because of your recommendation.. you have an impact on people.. so before you recommended products make sure you are absolutely positive on your choices.. btw the pink salt taste like fish to me... and the butcher box is a little expensive...
StevieRomo here’s the thing, I’m always honest in my videos and I discover things as I go too. I’m an evolving, ever learning human being, just like everyone else. If someone expects me to know it all from inception, then that is just unrealistic. I think it makes me human to admit that there are something’s that I have learned.
Thomas DeLauer I love that you are so honest about things! I always counter research and use my own research comparison to get a lot of what you recommend. I’ve been on Keto since Feb. 7, 2019 and am down 40lbs as of today(3/17/19). You always express that advertisements of products is what allows this content to stay free. Keep doing you! You’ll always gain more haters as you become more impactful!
I’m glad Thomas is defending himself against these kind of comments and that he’s explaining the simple reality that we all evolve and learn as we go. Try taking free content you watch on UA-cam with “a grain of salt” of your own choice - wink-wink. Like don’t buy a case of salt and then get mad that Thomas realized there’s a slightly better product out there. I’m sticking with Himalayan salt as it’s what I have and 60 minerals and it possibly being the second best salt is fine with me. It’s wise to try products that are suggested to you in small quantities so you can make your own decisions. Buying a large block of salt because someone on UA-cam told you to is naive and complaining about it is adolescent.
@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial Money talks....because in the end.....that's what it's all about. Guess I can't blame you, but this is peoples lives you are selling out to advertisers. Something tells me if I paid you enough to advertise table salt that would suddenly become good again.
Yes, I realize and understand what you are saying.. I appreciate the response and everything you do for us.. I think you should know what your followers are thinking.. and I wrote down my first thoughts.. BTW what do you do with the insulation that comes in the Butcher Box.. It feels like a waste to throw it out... Maybe I should Contact the company??
Does Green Tea or ACV stop autophogy during fasting? Because of the antioxidants in Green Tea and proteins in ACV? Serious question that I’ve been stumped on and no one has told me any answers! Ive heard that ANYTHING other than water stops or slows autophogy. Thanks!
In fact it increases the autophagy and also makes you more daring and risk-taker during fasting period. Here is one twisted reality which I'll be bashed for, the ACV with MOTHER is not potent I guess the mother thing slows down the fire but when I have filtered ACV the Heinz one, it literally starts the reaction and I can feel it, I can feel sort of gas running in my nerves and it is widening my nose air pipe and I feel I am breathing much better and I feel there is some sort of good Gas which makes a sound nearby my jaw and back of the head and feels like it's is going inside my cavity eyes and ears..... and boy thats time I am focused like an assassin, daring like a yakuza and clever like a mad scientist, it also gives you edge when you are interacting with women.... If you have all your seduction knowledge checked but cannot implement due to hesitation then boy autophagy with unfiltered ACV is your answer. I am not promoting Heinz, it is my personal finding. Do come back with your finding. Alternatively I was thinking can other natural fruit vinegar can do the same stuff? And oh yes I put pinch of natural salt in my drinking water through out a day (i put in my water bottle)
I doubt it is just a matter of your brain "getting confused" as far as the sweet substitute for salt - as he says himself, if you are in ketosis, your insulin is low and by consequence you are flushing out water and electrolytes too easily. Evolutionarily then, there is probably the overlap because if you eat something sweet, it will ostensibly spike your insulin and at least allow you to hold more water and electrolytes for a time, which helps partly address the root of the salt craving.
hymalaian pink salt have 80 minerals.. basicly every mineral.. when you fasting if you drink 2 l water from bottle a day you put a pinch of that beautiful natural all mineral thing
That would be fine if the claims of Himalayan salt being good salt were true, unfortunately, spectral analysis shows that there are only trace amounts of the really important minerals like potassium, phosphorus, calcium etc. (Especially in comparison to "real salt")

Also, thanks to the information in this video, I realized that I wasn't adding enough salt to my water. I increased the amount (I didn't measure) & added some lemon juice, I feel much better. Bonus, no more muscle cramps. Thanks for all the info, Thomas.
Thanks for the order. You will love it. #betterwithrealsalt
Seaweed from time to time is a great source of minerals too!
This explains why I always craved Salt & Vinegar chips when I use to be skinny!! Lucky for me I've never had a sweet tooth for it to switch to!! But my thyroid went out of wack & I gained 40 lbs!! So I started keto 3 months ago & dropped 9 lbs. in 21 days & gained almost all of them back even though I've been in ketosis for 2 weeks straight! My legs are cramping almost every night, I have edema, a headache & extremely fatigued. A nurse told me I was adding too much salt (even though I only eat once or twice a day with less than 10 carbs). I totally think after hearing this I'm not getting enough salt!! Thanks Thomas!! God bless!
I have been using Redmond's primarily for salt. The reason is they provide analysis results on-line and I have been unable to find a definitive analysis for the pink salts. I put some in the filter before the coffee when making coffee and it keeps the blood levels up in the normal range. Have also heard that some Himalayan pink salt, mined in the same region, has excessive lead content. So know your supplier.
Thanks for choosing Real Salt!
I started keto this week and was anticipating sugar cravings, but I’ve been watching your videos for months researching this before starting. I also took the LMNT electrolytes drinks you recommended everyday since I started and I’ve had zero sugar cravings so far. I also add pink Himalayan salt to my eggs in the morning (and even started adding a pinch to my coffee). So far this has been keeping me feeling good. Praying I don’t get the Keto flu too bad (or at all lol) and this continues to abate sugar cravings. Thank you so much for all of your advice!! It’s made a world of difference so far.
Thanks so much for this salt advice. I have never been able to fast because I would feel sick after 12 hours of water fasting. But I tried it again by adding a tiny amount of sea salt to my water in the morning and I actually feel better. I found out that a combination of 1/2 cup of coffee and a pinch of salt in the morning gives me the energy I need to start my day!
Thomas, why do you always come up with a video that always explains my current issues? I'm always craving something sweet during a long fast. Now you have possibly answered my biggest problem. Its a sodium problem ive got, not a need for actual sugar? That's amazing!!
I hace been taking 1/4 TSP of Redmond real salt in a warm glass of water first thing in the morning for two years now, because I believe that good hydration in my cells make them work better. I am really glad that Thomas is talking about good quality salt nos. Ladies with moderate incontinence: this salt can reverse it, I give testimony myself. God bless your heart Thomas!
Thanks for choosing Real Salt and sharing your testimony!
Apparently from 'What I've Learned' youtube channel, you can avoid the "Keto flu" by just eating enough salt during that transition period.
Could it be inferred the body "detects" low sodium and has two ways to compensate? Either by consuming glucose therefore increasing insulin and therefore decreasing secretion of sodium OR by bringing in more sodium we hack the system to stop craving sugar??? Either way it's a beautiful example of systems redundancy.
Dr Gundry recommends sea salt with iodized iodine. Lots of sea salt and Himalayan salt does not have iodine. We need iodine. Costco has Himalayan salt with iodine at a great price (Canada).
Great video as always and a lesson for me to go for salt when I'm craving sugar. Some seniors also need more salt . . . My mother (early 80s and eats a whole food diet) would have dizzy spells and would always go for orange juice as a pick-me-up. She was also urinating all the time. I had her try a pinch of Hsalt under the tongue (with water after) throughout the day. Problem solved. Also, she didn't need to go to the bathroom during the night as often. Another problem solved.
I remember being told, when I was younger, that salty foods and salt in GENERAL is a huge enemy for our body. I never really followed that "tip", but now I realize how our relatives as "influencers" know way less than they think they do.
Been on Carnivore 4 weeks...salt is a MUST for energy metabolism. Taking about 7 grams daily with food and a few 1/4 teaspoon servings with good quality water, especiallybefore a workout (playing with dosing) Redmon is the best.
What do you say about red salt? I think it’s much better compared to pink salt. Idk about the salt your promoting compared to red salt but in my opinion I think is better than pink. What are your thoughts?
I have a history of working in Health Food Stores and knew about the FDA’s Criteria on Labeling, but was unaware about Pink Himalayan Salt. I most definitely will be taking advantage of the Package offer and switching to Redmond’s Real Salt. Thank’s Thomas
Thanks James! #staysalty
I grew up on a low sodium diet because my mother is hypertensive. I hated it and never agreed with it. I think it made her crabby. However she’s not fat; she’s super skinny. She also doesn’t drink water, only coffee. I have never seen my mother take a drink of water. I think we need sodium chloride, but we do not need the sodium chemicals found in processed foods. I try to eat food in natural states, and use pink Himalayan salt. I agree with this video 100%. Btw, if you feel hungry, you might be thirsty. Try drinking a pitcher of margarita and see how you feel then!😂
Or you may be hungry for other things! 😉🤓
Getting enough potassium will go further in reducing hypertension than just going on a low sodium diet.
Take this advice with a grain of salt....
No, seriously, go grab a few grains of salt and eat them.
Haha 👏🏼
Lol
Especially when you get an ad in the middle of the explanation
Dude 😄🙌🏻
today I live for you!
I posit that the reason that we crave sugar while salt depleted is that the body is trying to move us out of a ketogenic state. As soon as we are not in the ketogenic state, our body quits shedding sodium at an extreme rate. We can live off of stored fat/muscle, but we die without salt.
I love the Redmond's salt. I found it at my local health food store( not a chain, ran by professionals) a few years ago and haven't looked back. [thumbs up] I am glad they are sponsoring your channel.
Thanks Mark! #StaySalty
When I boil broccoli or cabbage in salty water I always drink the hot water with my dinner. I'll stick with himalayan salt because it's readily available here in England.
Sugar is the devil's salt.. 👍
Steam
I am in the UK too , where do you get this salt from?
@@racquelholness169 .. All the supermarkets sell Himalayan pink salt or any health food shops. I get mine off eBay. A kilo bag of coarse grind is about £5. I'll bet Amazon do it as well. The supermarkets are expensive though.. 👍 🇬🇧
@@racquelholness169 It's a bit expensive but Holland & Barrett stock it
Big Ben thanks for the tip Ben! Is it organic?
I totally agree. I am not crazy about salty foods. However, last night I was craving a snack, my water intake was good but i was missing something. I decided to have a pickle and yes I drank some of the juice and I felt better. I use only use pink or black salts. I am so grateful that you prove it with science "salt is not the enemy".
All vegetables have natural salts (celery, leeks, artichokes, kale, cabbage, spring onions, etc), and if you're eating them every week, there is no way you would be sodium deficient.
I have a high sensitivity to salt, so I have not added salt (not even pink himalayan or kosher salt that everyone's been telling me about) for 11 years now, and I don't have a sodium deficiency or low salt intake according to the tests I've taken. I don't crave salty or sweet foods (I actually find sweet fruits a bit too sweet, and have no need to add stevia or monkfruit or coconut nectar to my smoothies) as my palette has cleansed and my tastes have changed.
Of course, because of this, I can never walk in to a place and casually order a meal because, guess what, salt is in everything..! It's astonishing that, even at health food restaurants, you'd be hard pressed to find a salt-free meal because they pre-prep their ingredients, and salt is a flavour enhancer. Without it, customers with regular palettes will say that the meal tastes bland.
I bet if Thomas put out the video without mentioning any salt companies people would ask him which brand he recommends. Since it’s a sponsored video people wanna attack him instead. Don’t listen to all these negative comments Thomas keep up the good work and Thanks for the great free content as always.
I mix Himalayan Salt, with Iodized white sea salt and no salt substitute. Mix it up and add it to my lemon water
Great to see you supporting Redmond. I've been using their salt for years and love it.
Thanks Mike! Stay salty!
i looked at some table salt and sea salt ingredients both have added sugar... wouln't this kick you out of keto or fasting ??
There is an old hunters trick here in East Africa. During the dry season when there is no water to be found, only baboons know the last spots and they hide them well. Anyways, we get a hold of one and feed it a lot of salt over the cause of a few hours. It makes them thirsty and then we let it loose. It will lead us directly to the hidden water at a run. Always works.
I've always eaten a high salt diet and I maintain that this advice to cut your salt intake to practically nothing is irrelevant to most people. I think there are some people who maybe react badly to a high sodium diet but they are not the majority.
In India you can have 3 kg Pink Himalayan salt for 75 rs ( 1 dollar)
not every where but here in india its cheap
@@vikranthbarla yea coz it's made in Nepal and Nepal is india unofficially
@@Randibaaj_sala no India get Himalayan more than 7 places from own interior part, no need from Nepal anymore...
Watching this while sipping on Snake Juice. Amazing how long its taken people to catch up.....
SAME!!
Hey fatty
I usually supplement 1tsp total of pink Himalayan salt into my waters throughout the day(1/2 tsp into 2 bottles of water). Is that enough? Or do I need more?
Jeremy Gossen would love to see this answered.
That's enough, 1 or 1.5 tsp is enough.
You have to listen your body depends on a lot of factors such as your activity level the environment you live , how often you sweat etc once you figure this out just continue to salt until you feel like you no longer have the salt cravings
The last piece of health advice from main stream medicine I was following (low salt)... Now busted.
For about 3 months now I've been eating as much pink himalayan salt as my taste buds asked for, and so far so good no crazy high blood pressure or any other side effects.
Low sodium does help in many ways but getting more potassium works a lot better. If you're on a high sodium diet, you need significantly more potassium in your diet. RDA is 4G of potassium vs 2G of sodium. So if you're eating 5G of sodium a day, you need 10g of potassium to maintain that ratio!
Whoop 🙌 Redmond Salt ordered for me and my family. Thanks Thomas for sharing all your vast knowledge 👍🏻
Thanks for choosing Real Salt! #staysalty
man this is so important.. should be your most viewed video
Instead of drinking salted water, could we eat the salt that would go in the water? Or is it better absorbed diluted in water?
That is fine and dandy with salt consumption as long as you don't have high blood pressure. If you have hypertension then too much salt is detrimental to your health and is proven to elevate your blood pressure.
Been using this salt for a while. Did my own research on it, and it is the better. It isnt expensive and it has so many other minerals.
Thanks for the comment! #staysalty
FYI: Amazon is a better deal. Two bags are seventeen dollars. Thomas' deal is more due to fact that there is a six dollar shipping charge. You end up with less for more money in my opinion. Two bags @ amazon (course, fine). Check out Thomas' deal anyway and compare. Thanks for another GREAT video Thomas!!!!
Whoaat... One of the most important videos from Thomas and on keto overall.
I buy a variety of salt from Redmonds, to French grey salt to Hawaiian red salt. Doesn’t hurt to eat some seaweed, too. Long believed that a lot of the salty snack habit is due to need for salt. Remember our body fluids are salty.
Great video….How much sodium, mag citrate & potassium citrate should I add to 500ml if water. Can’t seem to find the right ratio
Salt (sodium chloride), it has chemical property of holding water with it which you can well appreciate during high humidity it becomes moist or cakes(nowadays anti-caking chemicals added in table salt to prevent caking like calcium silicate, sodium and potassium ferrocyanide, poly dimethyl siloxane etc), So in our circulatory system it holds water and increases circulating blood volume causing increased pressure on blood vessels, in young healthy subjects blood vessels are elastic and they sustain such pressure rise but over the course of age they start to deposit fat in them causing luminal narrowing and hardening giving rise to stroke. So every type of salt either table salt(over fortified for marketing) sea salt( with micro plastic and pollutants found in modern sea) , rock salt(is dried natural pure sea water trapped in the mountains/rocks /layers of land) retains water to raise the blood pressure "SO EVERY SALT ASSALTS" as every food in nature has appropriate amount of salt (sod Chloride) in it and this is sufficient for healthy human. However in few medical condition salt therapy may be needed.
Redmond Salt in water has caused me to not feel dehydrated. It is said that it causes water to get into cells where it belongs, rather than building up in the area around them. From how I feel since drinking Redmond Salt water I tend to think it must be true.
Also, one's skin looks better when it becomes properly hydrated.
Just got the bundle Thomas thanks
Thanks for ordering! 👍🏼
Thank you, I’ve on Keto for around 6 months and have lost 30 lbs. I just couldn’t stop the sweet tooth cravings! So I know now what I need to do.
Well this explains a lot. When I am working away from home and using the gym at work, almost daily, I crave that unsupervised and unprotected soft serve ice cream machine. Yet when I eat that Jimmy Dean sausage patty, it holds me over really well.
My grandma died at the age of 89 three years ago and I never got to ask her why she was giving the sheep big boulders of salt in the summer... (there are many things I wish I would have asked her). That explains it
Just bought mine! Can’t wait for it to get here.
Thanks for choosing Real Salt! Mmm #staysalty
This would explain why I have been craving sweets and have an insatiable appetite since I stopped eating bacon every day. Obviously I haven’t done enough to replace that salt
Going very low carb I experienced dizziness and heart palpitations.
My heart didn`t beat faster, just harder ... a lot - scary stuff!
But I knew what to do, I took a 1/2 tsp of salt and 20 minutes later everything was back to normal as if nothing had happened.
Never happened again after that one incident.
Color me confused... so how much salt? How often? How do you know when you have enough?
Taste your pee. If it tastes salty, you're good.
According to Dr Brownstein who wrote Salt Your Way To Health, a very good salt is Celtic Sea Salt...and all salt comes from the sea.
Thank you for all you do for us Thomas. I have placed an order
Thanks for your order!
Real Salt You’re welcome. Can’t wait to try it, thank you for the reply. I hope to pass how good it is to all my friends
This explains so much! I generally never get cravings until I eat something salty (like bacon)
Never have this problem when drinking Snake Juice. 😁
I never heard of pink himalayan salt before I seen Thomas delauers video 3 years ago!!! Now I put it on everything I eat!!! Now I'm off to whole foods to buy redmans salt!!!
i use pink himalayan salt on everything now too
Over achiever
sucker
A lot of us take diuretics for hypertension. The theory being that we need to remove excess salt. How do diuretics relate to this and keto in general?
Yes I need this answered because eventho my blood pressure improved and lost over 80 pounds I’m still on my pills but I want to stop
apple cider vinger clean your blood cells
My mom was drinking them before she started keto, because of her hypothyroidism, but since she started keto, she had no need for them.
But she didn't drink them every day, because those pills were really strong,, only when the water started to feel like it's suffocating her (that happened like every third day)
Thanks to thomas I have every salt you can think of!!!
The side effects of salt deficiency are also completely horrid and kick in fast and have very little margin. Compared to salt surplus which has a very large margin and mild side effects. Good thing then that the FDA and WHO recommend daily salt intake below maintenance levels...
I did strict keto low sodium for a year lost 140+ lbs and drank nothing but water and black coffee. I mean eggs beef chicken broccoli and asparagus that’s about it. I gave up and gained it all back and starting over again from 385 lost 25 already.
Is there a fake pink Himalayan salt? How do you know if you have a high-quality salt? They sell pink salt at Costco and Walmart.
Im all for pink Himalayan and that real salt brand. But why isn’t Morton Lite salt mentioned more? Sure it’s more “processed” but at least you know is consistent and has the perfect ratio of sodium/potassium. That’s my go to when I’m at work so I’m not playing and making sure I’m getting enough of the actual potassium and not just overloading salt. Then I take magnesium glycinate before bed and golden
Hmmm. I've had Real Salt for a while. I've noticed that both Pink Himalayan salt and Real Salt note on their packaging that they don't contain iodine. Do you need the iodine?
You are not lying. When im low on sodium, I crave sweets so bad.

I struggle with water retention sometimes and it's most apparent after my 9-hr shifts at work. I get edema in my ankles, even though I drink plenty of water and use Redmond Salt on food.
Very informative. So how much salt would be acceptable in a day?
1 or 1.5 tsp
Wow. This is a life changing video. Thank you so much. I thought I was getting enough salt but I will add more to see if that helps my cravings.
I was gonna order the redmonds but saw a lot of bad reviews on Amazon about sand in the salt.
May the sand is where the minerals come from!!!
Excellent. I just get a lb of Redmond's after getting turned on to Himalayan last year. Used to think this was all hype and ordinary cheap Morton's with iodine was just fine. Now I put quality salt and potassium in my whey shakes and heavily salt my OMAD re-feed meals as well as take it in the morning with water before fasted gym. It used to be before keto that even small amounts of light salting was too intense for me. Now it's just part of the food I eat and a nice background kind of flavor that is not so overbearing as it used to be.
WOW, WOW, I just figured this out for myself the other day. I was always craving sugar in the form of these great fudge ice cream bars! and peeing all the time. Just by chance I started putting some salt onto my food (I'm on Keto) and instantly my craving for those darn fudge bars Stopped. It's only been a few days, but I hope this was my problem. I will definitely be buying some of Tom's salt to continue my personal test.
My wife keeps complaining that she's plateaued but I keep losing even though we're eating the same things. I tell her constantly it's lack of salt. She hates adding salt to her water or to top off her food, yet I do.
Omg i stalled this past couple months. I was drinking a lot of salt water and then stopped. Ive lost some inches but not like i was. Think I'm going to go back to my pink Himalayan salt and cream of tartar and ACV water throughout the day. I was losing 7 to 10 pounds a
Maldon salt tho! Bestest organic and delicious
I was going to buy some. But 40$ of shipping and handling charges to go to Canada in INSANE.
Find one in your local health store.
We even have it here in the Philippines.
Only 8 dollars for 10 oz/284 grams.
The study published on friday in the medical journal JAMA concluded that eating eggs is related to ill cardiovascular event.. It would be awesome if you take us through this study.. It's frightening for the Keto community!

I bought the pink Himalayan salt because you recommended it in your past video... I m receiving butcher box because of you as well. And fire kettle bone broth because of your recommendation.. you have an impact on people.. so before you recommended products make sure you are absolutely positive on your choices.. btw the pink salt taste like fish to me... and the butcher box is a little expensive...
StevieRomo here’s the thing, I’m always honest in my videos and I discover things as I go too. I’m an evolving, ever learning human being, just like everyone else. If someone expects me to know it all from inception, then that is just unrealistic. I think it makes me human to admit that there are something’s that I have learned.
Thomas DeLauer I love that you are so honest about things! I always counter research and use my own research comparison to get a lot of what you recommend. I’ve been on Keto since Feb. 7, 2019 and am down 40lbs as of today(3/17/19). You always express that advertisements of products is what allows this content to stay free. Keep doing you! You’ll always gain more haters as you become more impactful!
I’m glad Thomas is defending himself against these kind of comments and that he’s explaining the simple reality that we all evolve and learn as we go. Try taking free content you watch on UA-cam with “a grain of salt” of your own choice - wink-wink. Like don’t buy a case of salt and then get mad that Thomas realized there’s a slightly better product out there. I’m sticking with Himalayan salt as it’s what I have and 60 minerals and it possibly being the second best salt is fine with me. It’s wise to try products that are suggested to you in small quantities so you can make your own decisions. Buying a large block of salt because someone on UA-cam told you to is naive and complaining about it is adolescent.
@@ThomasDeLauerOfficial Money talks....because in the end.....that's what it's all about. Guess I can't blame you, but this is peoples lives you are selling out to advertisers. Something tells me if I paid you enough to advertise table salt that would suddenly become good again.
Yes, I realize and understand what you are saying.. I appreciate the response and everything you do for us.. I think you should know what your followers are thinking.. and I wrote down my first thoughts.. BTW what do you do with the insulation that comes in the Butcher Box.. It feels like a waste to throw it out... Maybe I should Contact the company??
Thank you very much for the discount Thomas I really appreciate it.
Does Green Tea or ACV stop autophogy during fasting? Because of the antioxidants in Green Tea and proteins in ACV? Serious question that I’ve been stumped on and no one has told me any answers! Ive heard that ANYTHING other than water stops or slows autophogy.
Thanks!
Im also curious about this
No. Why? I've lost a lot of weight drinking green tea and acv during my fasting window.
@@DarthTerminatti He asked about autophagy, not loosing fat
Siim is the expert on autoghagy. Look him up.👍
In fact it increases the autophagy and also makes you more daring and risk-taker during fasting period. Here is one twisted reality which I'll be bashed for, the ACV with MOTHER is not potent I guess the mother thing slows down the fire but when I have filtered ACV the Heinz one, it literally starts the reaction and I can feel it, I can feel sort of gas running in my nerves and it is widening my nose air pipe and I feel I am breathing much better and I feel there is some sort of good Gas which makes a sound nearby my jaw and back of the head and feels like it's is going inside my cavity eyes and ears..... and boy thats time I am focused like an assassin, daring like a yakuza and clever like a mad scientist, it also gives you edge when you are interacting with women.... If you have all your seduction knowledge checked but cannot implement due to hesitation then boy autophagy with unfiltered ACV is your answer. I am not promoting Heinz, it is my personal finding. Do come back with your finding. Alternatively I was thinking can other natural fruit vinegar can do the same stuff?
And oh yes I put pinch of natural salt in my drinking water through out a day (i put in my water bottle)
Thanks for this! And you can pitch anything you deem fit. As long as you provide this amount of information on all you're promoting, I'll be happy.
Is there such thing as too much pink or sea salt.I sprinkle it a lot on dinner once a day.
I doubt it is just a matter of your brain "getting confused" as far as the sweet substitute for salt - as he says himself, if you are in ketosis, your insulin is low and by consequence you are flushing out water and electrolytes too easily. Evolutionarily then, there is probably the overlap because if you eat something sweet, it will ostensibly spike your insulin and at least allow you to hold more water and electrolytes for a time, which helps partly address the root of the salt craving.
hymalaian pink salt have 80 minerals.. basicly every mineral.. when you fasting if you drink 2 l water from bottle a day you put a pinch of that beautiful natural all mineral thing
That would be fine if the claims of Himalayan salt being good salt were true, unfortunately, spectral analysis shows that there are only trace amounts of the really important minerals like potassium, phosphorus, calcium etc. (Especially in comparison to "real salt")
What a informative video!!! I ordered the salt!
wow $20 dollars for Redmond salt?!? I'll stick to the $5 dollar himalayan
lol
I purchased mine at a local health food store it was $3.99
Same here. Redmond salt is just too expensive.
I buy a 25lb bag from food storage company and it’s about $50. Lasts forever.
Shows how much you value your health, man.
.. maybe just a pinch of "cream of tartar" in your salt water = for potassium ... and "tarts " it up .. if it doesn't taste good -- you don't need any
