                                Approximately 98% of adults in the U.S. do not consume enough potassium, a key electrolyte, a deficit exacerbated on a keto diet where electrolyte loss is more common. Understanding what happens if you don't take electrolytes on keto is essential for a smooth and safe transition into ketosis, preventing a cascade of uncomfortable side effects.
