Good evening everyone,
Something happened to me today that I have not experienced before, at least not in this magnitude, and I am wondering if it has happened to anyone else and if that’s a normal body response.
So today my morning started at 5:30AM with my keto tea(cream, 3 TBS of mtc oil), drove three hours, went to a trail and walked for 3 hours and a half, munched on cheese and a handful of cashews, had my electrolytes and water. After the walk I drove for 44 minutes to a Chinese buffet; which of course was not a good idea but anyway, I figured I’ve been good for 3 months and one carb meal was not going to spoil my progress. At 4pm I started eating. I ate a descent amount of carbs for the main meal, but then I decided to have dessert and to finish it off one expresso with one sugar(have been caffeine free for 4 months) . I was feeling ok when I got out of the restaurant and started heading home, within 20 to 30 minutes my vision started to feel a bit blurry and my heart rate started raising, suddenly I felt this weird sensation and my hands started sweating and shaking, I felt like I couldn’t breath, I’m driving still at this point and I’m trying to psych myself to calm down, I was on the freeway and couldn’t really get out, thankfully I managed to control myself as much as possible to be able to drive until the next exit. I stop and asked my sister to drive, as soon as I got out of the car my whole body was shaking and my mouth went desert dry. At first I thought I’m having a panic attack, which I’ve only had once long time ago and nothing like this. But then I wonder if I had loaded my body with too much sugar at once after the day I’ve had and of course the caffeine.
After 1 hour and 45 minutes I started to feel better, it’s been 4 hours and I’m back to normal other than feeling super tired.
Was carb overload what I expirienced?
