Every diet page LYTES has built lives here. If you already know your protocol, these go straight to the page built around it.

What changes when what you eat changes

  • One protocol today, a looser one next month

    Diets change, and so does what your body needs from electrolytes — a fixed habit built for one phase won't necessarily fit the next one you move to.

  • Water alone doesn't know what you're eating

    Plain water replaces fluid, never the sodium, potassium and magnesium your kidneys handle differently depending on how many carbs you're eating that week.

  • Sugar labelled as hydration

    Many mainstream electrolyte and sports drinks bundle a full day's added sugar in with the minerals, whatever diet you're following. Separating salt from sugar means you can hydrate without derailing whatever you're doing with food.

  • Not sure which protocol you're closest to?

    If you're not strictly following one thing, browse the five pages above and start with whichever is closest to how you actually eat — the products overlap more than you'd think.

Best part of the day

I hate most electrolytes. So I was super excited to try all the Sodii flavours in a sample pack. My second favourite is the grapefruit! And a plus for me is that I can continue to drink them even when following my strict low histamine anti fungal eating plan.

Diet electrolytes, answered

Which diet electrolyte page should I start with?

Whichever is closest to how you actually eat — if you're not sure, our Low Carb or Sugar Free pages are the most flexible starting points, and you can always browse the full range here.

Do I need different electrolytes for different diets?

The core minerals — sodium, potassium and magnesium — are the same whatever you eat. What changes is how much you need and which products fit (unflavoured vs flavoured, zero-carb vs low-carb), which is what each diet page is built around.

Can I use a keto electrolyte product while fasting, or vice versa?

In most cases yes — an unflavoured, zero-sugar electrolyte product works across keto, carnivore, fasting and sugar-free eating, since they share the same core requirement of zero added carbohydrate.

Are any of these electrolytes NOT suitable for a specific diet?

Flavoured products that use fruit-derived or carbohydrate-containing sweeteners are the main thing to check if you're following a strict zero-carb protocol like fasting or carnivore — the individual diet pages flag which picks suit each approach.

What if I'm not following any of these diets strictly?

That's most people, most of the time — our general Electrolytes for Sport and everyday ranges are built for exactly that, with these diet pages here for whenever your eating gets more specific.

How is this different from your Electrolytes for Sport collection?

Sport pages are organised by activity and sweat rate; these diet pages are organised by what you eat. The products overlap heavily — many people land on both, depending on the day.
