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 for watching hey we’re back with another amazing recipe no brains no sugar totally keto there’s no suffering in keto absolutely not karen and it’s an immune system builder absolutely you have to check this out i think you should hurry up watch the recipe and make it yourself it’s just so easy to be keto but is it simple it’s super simple we hope you enjoy making it as much as we are enjoying eating it
