Message: <blockquote data-quote="CherryAA" data-source="post: 1535886" data-attributes="member: 327005">I've been happily sticking to my LCHF way of life for  months now.  In the last couple of weeks I have noticed an increase n heart palpitations.On googling I came across this ;<a href="https://thorfalk.wordpress.com/2011/04/15/arrhythmia-heart-palpitations-ketosis-and-low-carb-diet/" target="_blank">https://thorfalk.wordpress.com/2011/04/15/arrhythmia-heart-palpitations-ketosis-and-low-carb-diet/</a>So the recommendation is to add back some carbs to stop the palpitations.  I don't particularly want to add back too much rice or potatoes as I do find these very moreish  and am a bit worried about the blood sugar effect. so I have just eaten 90 g of carrots and 12 g of peas.      It feels like the arrythimia stopped pretty much on the second bite. i.e. my body was saying you must have a bit of carbs.  (I am in ketosis ) blood sugar around 6.7  (with dp ) on eating them . Overnight fasting blood sugar 5.5.Ive been eating about 40g carbs and 60 g proteins for a while now. Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon and increase carbs slightly to get rid of it?  if not what else did you do?</blockquote>
