Today I successfully completed my first 24 hour fast. I finished dinner about 4.5 hours ago and I feel like my heart is beating really hard. I took my BP, it’s 135/78 pulse 78. That’s pretty high for me. I’m going to go drink an electrolyte mix to see if that helps. I eat keto and have for well over a year. I usually do a 16/8 IF but thought I’d give 24 hour fasting a couple days a week a go because I enjoy having breakfast with my kids before school. I’m just wondering, is it possible I broke this fast too quickly and that’s why I feel weird? I want to give it another go but maybe I just wasn’t quite prepared? Any advice?

Do you supplement with potassium and magnesium. I listened to a podcast and one doctor said that almost everyone is deficient in these. I’m pretty sure you symptoms could be caused by many different things. I hope you are able to figure it out.

I do supplement with magnesium but not potassium. Whatever was going on, I was back to normal the next day. I am going to try it again later this week but this time break the fast a bit more gently and see if that helps.
