someone had a question about what you do

if you have an arrhythmia

after you break a fast with a meal so

let’s talk about that

so an arrhythmia is an abnormal

heartbeat it could be a palpitation

it could be a skip beat and of course

what i’m going to tell you is my opinion

and

check with your doctor before taking any

of my advice

okay but this symptom could occur

especially if you’re

not doing keto but you’re just doing

fasting so let’s say you’re doing a long

fast over 48 hours

and you do this big carbohydrate meal

you may notice some body problems simply

because

you’re going to spike insulin and

insulin moves the electrolytes

from the blood inside the cell so we get

a shift

of all these electrolytes potassium

magnesium

sodium chlorides and phosphorus

and when we have the shift we end up

with a deficiency in the blood

of these electrolytes and you can have

heart issues you can feel dizzy

especially

if when you’re doing the fast you’re not

taking any electrolytes

these electrolytes aren’t usually stored

in the body very well

except for sodium tends to be stored but

not potassium magnesium

and these other electrolytes so here you

are doing this long fast

and you’re kind of deficient in the

electrolytes and as soon as you take a

high carb meal

it can create this shift of even a

greater deficiency in electrolytes and

that’s when you start noticing

uh problems now there’s a medical term

for a longer version of this where

you’re

basically starving or you’re not eating

for a long period of time

and then you eat too fast and it’s

called the refeeding

syndrome but that’s a little bit

different because you’re actually

starving

and then you eat too much food and this

is actually dangerous this is why they

always tell you to eat

a little bit of food and gradually eat

more over time but this problem can

happen

if you’re doing fasting 48 or 72 hours

or obviously even longer so number one

you want to stay on keto and don’t do a

high carb meal

okay number two

you want to take electrolytes while

you’re fasting

and that way you won’t be deficient and

also

realize the longer you fast the

smaller your meal should be when you

break the fast

so you want to break the fast with a

kind of a real small meal

a keto friendly meal and then wait a

little bit and have a little bit more

food

weigh a little bit more and have even

more food and the reason for that

is we just don’t want a sudden shift of

these electrolytes

inside the cell as well as being put

into

stored sugar as glycogen as well so you

want to keep your electrolytes in the

blood at a certain level

and not have that drop all right thanks
