The WORST Intermittent Fasting Mistakes That Raise Your Blood Sugar!

🟢 Also watch:

One of the biggest mistakes that you can make especially when you're just getting started with intermittent fasting is not getting enough salt and other minerals and I know I know everyone's telling you that you should avoid salt because of high blood pressure.

But when you do intermittent fasting for a prolonged period of time you're actually losing more salt more potassium and more magnesium in your urine and if you're not replacing these minerals in some form you're going to feel terrible. You'll feel nauseous, you might vomit, you'll have headaches, you may have muscle cramps and muscle weakness, you may feel very, very dizzy
especially when you stand up, you may have low blood pressure and you'll feel restless and irritable.

Now to solve this problem you don't have to rush to buy supplements. You can actually eat lots of natural food that has magnesium, potassium and then add a little bit of salt to those foods. You can eat more nuts like almonds, Brazil nuts and cashews, though they are a little bit higher in carbs than the rest of them. You can eat more seeds like pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, hemp seeds.
Eat more fatty fish like mackerel, tuna, salmon, sardines. And then eat lots and lots of dark green leafy vegetables.
You can have some bone broth, you can have a little bit of dark chocolate.
Avocados are a great source of minerals, unsweetened yogurt and cheese. If you
find that you're still having a lot of muscle cramps you can add a magnesium supplement. Magnesium glycinate is my favorite because it's effective and it's affordable.

I cannot stress enough the importance of getting your electrolytes / minerals every day when on low carb and fasting!
I ended up being taken to hospital by ambulance because of hyponatremia and hypokaliemia, and to a lesser extent being low on all minerals! I was used to low carb and fasting but I had recently started restricting my carbs even more on OMAD. I didn't have any of the usual symptoms but suddenly got a massive headache and a minute or two later I passed out. I was out for nearly 2 hours during which I had seizures and vomited (thankfully it was just before my mealtime so my stomach was empty).
4 days in hospital and now I have to be super careful to maintain proper electrolyte levels or I will be in trouble again. I'm still committed to low carb and fasting, I love this lifestyle and feel better than I have in decades, but that incident sure was scary!

Great, and sensible breakdown! I had to radically change my diet due to periphal neuropathy cause from both statin drugs, and diabetes. My trace elements were critically low, and presently reversing this condition i do supplements, but separate taking them approx 4 hours apart since certain elements conflict with each other. I do early morning sun, and also know the the stimulus to the eyes are benefical. I was so bad two months ago, I couldn't squeeze a lemon wedge, now I can a whole lemon. Sorry a tad off topic, appreciate this share!

I think my biggest fasting issue is refeeding.

I don’t understand all these health gurus and doctors suggesting a low carb diet. It makes me laugh so much it hurts! There’s no minimum RDA for carbs and they are not an essential part of your diet! Instead of low carb it should be NO CARB. They can recommend cutting this or cutting that from your diet, but won’t tell the truth about carbs. Especially where diabetics are concerned! They should tell each and every diabetic to end carbs. It should be zero carbs and zero sugars for all diabetics, if not every human. I know a lot of you will scoff but that’s addiction speaking and yes you are addicted. No I’m not, oh yeah? Quit for 90 days and see how that goes? And now every excuse snd derogatory thing you’ll say just to avoid going without those carbs/sugars! LoL Jajajajajaja good luck everyone and I hope you do it cause you might learn stuff. I reversed my diabetes! Will you? Pre-diabetes?
