A little extra salt might help this, too. I sometimes put a dash in a glass of water, or have a sip of dill pickle or sauerkraut juice (tangy too!). If it tastes good, I do it again. If it tastes awful or disgusting, I spit it into the sink. I used to get dizzy in the middle of taking long slow walks, and this helped me a lot. I think low carbing, especially if carbs are low enough like on Atkins Induction, causes us to retain less water, which also means retaining less electrolytes. In one of the Protein Power books or on his blog, Mike Eades mentions drinking pickle juice. In NANY, the mention drinking hot salted broth (another tasty option, especially with a pat of butter stirred in for a light snack).
