we’re going to talk about refeeding

after a prolonged fast I’m talking about

maybe four five to seven day fast not

talking about like two days

it’s a rare situation but it can occur

it’s called the refeeding syndrome and

what happens is you’re getting a shift

of nutrients from your blood to the

cells inside the cells so you have extra

cellular - intracellular and the

malnourished State so let’s say for

example you have nutrient deficiencies

already going into a fast which by the

way you should never have anyone with

nutritional deficiencies like let’s say

you have an alcoholic or someone who’s

anorexic or something like that and you

have known vitamin nutrient deficiencies

or some disease and then you have them

fast and not take supplements during

their fasting period quite dangerous

because what will happen is that as soon

as you start eating and get this a flood

of nutrients that’s going to go inside

the cell and really drop the nutrients

inside the blood like phosphorus

potassium magnesium and even b1 and it

could be quite dangerous you can

actually faint you can have a lot of

cramping in your stomach and a lot of

other more serious symptoms so you want

to break a fast slowly but here’s the

thing if you’re taking nutrients

electrolytes B vitamins during the

fasting period and sea salt you’re going

to be totally fine I’m talking about the

situation where you’re not and the other

point is that when you break the fast

with non keto friendly foods okay let’s

say there are higher carbohydrate foods

that alone can deplete your potassium

your phosphorus your magnesium and your

b1 because those foods deplete nutrients

and that can create a big problem so you

always want to break the fast with keto

friendly foods and do it slowly and

gradually go in the fasting

over a period of time so you don’t shock

the system I just want to bring this

point

because I did have someone actually

faint after two days of fasting and it

was because they did not have enough

nutrients and then they broke the fast

with a with a higher carbohydrate meal
