{"title":"Electrolytes for Intermittent Fasting","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt is aimed squarely at people eating in a shorter window and finding the edges of it harder than expected. A compressed eating window makes it easy to miss protein and electrolytes while still hitting calories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBelow is the useful part only — the mechanism, the number to look for on the label, and how to fit electrolytes into a routine you will not abandon by Friday. Sweat carries sodium and potassium out with the water, so replacing fluid alone can leave you flatter than before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat electrolytes is doing in the body\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStart with the mechanism, because everything else on this page follows from it.
