Hey everyone!
I’m new to the forum but I’ve been on keto for about 7 months now. Lately, my workouts have gotten more intense and I feel like my electrolytes are just going right through me. I’ve noticed that my heart is really pounding during my cardio workout and i can feel it in my chest. I also was getting fairly dizzy during the workout. I also have a raised heart beat the rest of the night and trouble sleeping. I did go to the doctor and everything was normal. During my last workout i tried drinking 1/4 tsp of salt and water. After, I had some of dr. berg’s electrolyte powder, then had a meal with at least half and avocado and some broccoli. Seemed pretty potassium rich in general. That night i still had trouble sleeping, could hear my heart beat while lying on my back and on my pillow. How do you guys handle electrolytes after heavy workouts? Am i missing something? I didn’t seem to have this problem a few months ago. I did accidentally fall out of ketosis three weeks ago so i thought it was maybe the fat adaption was gone as well.
Thanks
