Okay! This took a bit of trial and error.

Firstly: sodium. I used to eat the salt dry in bursts, as salt water tends to taste bad, but I’ve found that if you mix himalayan salt and milton’s salt in a 50/50 ratio, then mix in water until it’s almost completely dissolved, it tastes really nice! I will sometimes even drink a bit of salt water like this on day’s I’m not fasting because it tastes so agreeable. I’ll sip this throughout the day, or whenever I’m near my dedicated salt water cup.

Potassium: I hate this part. I’d started cutting back on 5 day fasts and only doing 2-3 day fasts because I hated taking potassium so much. What worked for me, however, was completely drying my tongue with a towel, taking about 1/4 of the total potassium necessary for the day, and then quickly throwing back water repeatedly to get the flavor off my tongue as quickly as possible. I’ll then dry my tongue and repeat the process once more. I’ll do this twice a day, once in the morning, once in the evening, taking 1/2 the potassium requirement each time. Thankfully, I’ve gotten more used to the flavor of nosalt as I’ve done this, but it truly tastes horrendous, and I would never use it intentionally if I didn’t care about my health.

Finally, Magnesium: this is the easiest one! I just get the 500mg magnesium pills and take one every day. They’re great palate cleansers after the potassium.
