Apple cider vinegar contains potassium.  So if you add a little to your ACV and water beverage it will be okay.  Just don't use a lot of baking soda all the time every day as it can cause other issues.

I use just enough soda to balance the vinegar, so maybe half a tsp? I'm not sure why soda would be bad, except maybe it dilutes stomach acid. It wouldn't do that mixed with vinegar though. And of course soda increases sodium, which some people try to avoid.

My own sodium level tends to be low, which might be why I crave it sometimes. Sodium should be balanced by potassium, and I'm not sure if I get enough of that either. I've been increasing the number of vegies I eat though.

That is one of the issues I have seen on the super-low-carb diets. I think people do need vegetables, esp. greens. The vegies have the polysaccharides and vitamins and some minerals that meat just doesn't have. Giving up your Big A$$ salad makes for less hydration, but it also affects your gut flora, which can affect your appetite too.

Hi Heather, sorry I didn't read your post before posting mine.  I loves me some salt.  :)  I put it on just about everything!  Neat idea about the baking soda for fizziness.  But I have read that ingesting too much baking soda can be bad too.  How much do you use?
