waterfasting electrolytes?

@RealSurgerymax question for you

So a keystone to great facial leanness is low water retention ofc.

What would happen if I only take some potassium chloride on a waterfast, and no sodium chloride? since Na causes water retention

Sodium and potassium should be in balance, in my experience, low sodium relative to potassium causes drop in blood pressure, dizziness and racing heart. Lack of potassium causes cramps and high bp.
Still, people do manipulate the ratio for some events (like a bodybuilding show), but I wouldn't do it for a long time.
