Baked Ricotta with Carnivore Chips

HOW TO MAKE BAKED RICOTTA WITH CARNIVORE CHIPS

To make my baked ricotta, I used LMNT Mango Chili electrolytes! It adds a delicious savory flavor that can’t be beat!

What LMNT Is

LMNT is a zero-sugar electrolyte drink mix designed to support hydration without adding carbohydrates.
One serving (stick-pack) typically contains ~1,000 mg sodium, ~200 mg potassium and ~60 mg magnesium.
It’s marketed especially for people following ketogenic, low-carb, or “salty” diets, or for those who lose more electrolytes (e.g., heavy sweaters).

Key Benefits

Below are the major benefit areas, how they work, and why they may matter (especially in your field of keto/metabolic health).

1. Enhanced Hydration & Fluid Balance

Electrolytes—particularly sodium, potassium and magnesium—are essential in maintaining the balance of fluids inside and outside the cells.
With keto and low-carb diets, you may lose more sodium (because of lower insulin → increased natriuresis) so a higher sodium intake can help maintain volume and fluid balance.
Practically: LMNT helps replenish sodium + other electrolytes that might otherwise be low, supporting better hydration.

2. Support for Muscle Function, Cramps & Recovery

Sodium and potassium are critical for muscle contraction and relaxation (nerve signals, muscle fibres). An imbalance can lead to cramps, weakness or delayed recovery.
For those training or doing resistance work (which you emphasise), maintaining optimal electrolyte status helps recovery, performance and reducing “keto-flu” like symptoms (fatigue, headaches) that can accompany low-carb transitions and low sodium.

3. Support for Cognitive Function & Energy

Proper fluid/electrolyte balance affects more than muscles: nerve signalling, brain cell function, fluid around the brain matter all need sodium/electrolytes.
If sodium is too low, or you’re dehydrated, you might get brain fog, headaches, poor focus—which undermines wellness, hormonal health, metabolic health (all of which you cover).
Thus LMNT may help “clear fog,” boost energy when used appropriately.

4. Keto / Low-Carb Specific Benefit

On a ketogenic diet you reduce processed carbs (many of which have hidden sodium), possibly increase water excretion, and thus risk lower sodium and electrolyte status. LMNT’s formula is aligned with that need (zero sugar, high sodium).
Helps mitigate “keto flu” symptoms (fatigue, dizziness, headaches) related to electrolyte imbalance in the early transition.

How to Use

When: Pre- or post-workout, during heavy sweating, hot climate exposure, or when following a strict low-carb/keto diet and suspect you might be low on sodium.
Dose: Generally one stick mixed into ~16-32 oz of water (depending on taste/salt tolerance). Nourish, Move, Love+1
Integration: For high-protein keto clients, you could suggest LMNT on workout days or those heavy training days, paired with their protein + hydration strategy.

Who It’s Especially Useful For

People on ketogenic or very low-carb diets.
Athletes or those doing intense training, heavy sweating.
Those living in hot/humid climates or exposed to frequent sweating (sauna, endurance, outdoor work).
Anyone experiencing symptoms that might relate to low sodium/electrolytes (fatigue, dizziness, headaches, cramps) who has already ruled out other causes.

LMNT offers a strategic electrolyte solution: especially beneficial when sodium and electrolyte losses are elevated (via low-carb adaptation, sweating, training). Its major strength is its simplicity (zero sugar, minimal additives) and alignment with keto/paleo frameworks. As with any intervention, it should be integrated into the broader nutritional matrix (hydration, protein, fats, carbohydrate management, training load, recovery) and personalised.
