Stay Salty

Less Sugar, More Salt

🎯 The Philosophy

This week is about upgrading your internal chemistry by reducing sugar and boosting electrolytes—two simple changes that dramatically improve energy, focus, cravings, and performance.

Added sugars deliver empty calories with almost no nutritional value. They hide everywhere: sodas, sweetened coffee drinks, desserts, sauces, dressings, and even "healthy" snacks. Cut just two regular sodas per day and you'll eliminate roughly 2,100 calories per week (about 0.6 lbs. of fat). Reducing sugar stabilizes blood sugar, improves mood, and cuts cravings.

On the flip side, your body thrives when electrolytes are balanced. Brands like LMNT popularized the science: most people run low on sodium, potassium, and magnesium—three minerals crucial for hydration, nerve function, muscle recovery, and steady energy. Proper electrolyte balance reduces headaches, cravings, low energy, and brain fog, especially when you dial back sugar and processed foods.

This week, make simple swaps:

Remember, small shifts lead to big changes.

✅ Action Items
