Matt stone writes a little on this and unfortunately I don’t have any scientific studies to back up, all just conjecture, but how about adjusting salt intake relative to urine frequency?
On a high liquid peat diet, which is apparently most optimal due to the intake of primarily sugar as fuel accompanied with the minerals found in milk + oj, I find that I pee... a lot. I know this can’t be good, and I’ll often also start feeling weak and sometimes nauseous or have gastrointestinal distress.
However, by correspondingly eating very salty foods, such as heavily salting meat and veggies, I find I feel much better. The more OJ I drink the clearer and more frequent my urine, so I think something is very off with my body’s ability to regulate sodium.
I don’t think it’s smart to hit a set salt goal per se, but go based on how frequently urination occurs, the color of urine, and overall body sentiment. I think the more spaced the urination events (every 2-3 hours or so) and the darker the urine (to an extent) the better.
Consuming sugar with salt I think might be the winner here. You get the lower aldosterone, increased energy needs, and then the sugar blunts the corresponding rise in cortisol. I know for me, when I have a heavily salted meal with eggs, cheese, veggies, and salsa, and then chase with OJ, my brain starts to tingle, as if everything “right” is occurring metabolically.
