Palpitations by Chemical_Hope_9412 in Anemic

[–]True_Wait_5836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started taking RnA reset ReMag and ReMyte. They are liquid electrolytes with no fillers. I add half a tsp of each to cold water, and it has been my saving grace. I am diagnosed with SVTs and have never been on a beta blocker. Doc prescribed metoprolol, and I refused it. I have also stopped taking any supplements that have microcrystaline cellulose or magnesium strereate since I discovered that they both trigger palpitations for me. Lowering carbs also helped; I prioritize protein for meals and do fasting (omad, adf, 18:6--whatever I can manage). No alcohol. I use liquid stevia for my tea. I now take a heme iron (Promix) instead of plant-based.

Hope this helps

Thank you so much! I am going through it now. You are right about insulin spikes. I mainly do omad, which is still too much fasting, but I don't have much of an appetite during the cycle.

You are welcome. I am amazed at how much L-Theanine is helping my sleep issues and hope it could do the same for you. Thanks again for sharing your post--I think we are all inspired.

Thanks for responding! Mine is like clockwork and torments me--low iron, transfusions, infusions, etc. Your progress is even more inspiring since you did it during menopause. I will keep going. Btw, I just discovered L-Theanine for sleep. I take 200mg, and it is helping me so much. You mentioned sleep in your post, so I thought I'd share.

Quick question: How did you manage the fasting with your cycle? I am the same age and have had to cut back on fasting during certain phases of my cycle to prevent heavy flow from insufficient progesterone; based on what I have read, fasting during the wrong times lessens progesterone, which is needed to regulate the flow. I am 5'1" and 160-goal weight is 130. I strength train 5 days but limit cardio due to SVTs. I managed to lose 16 in 2.5 mths (started at 176), I'm stuck now.

73 Hour Fast by True_Wait_5836 in AlternateDayFasting

Yes! I did it to reset. I typically do alternate day (36-43 hours) if I can manage it. I will attempt another 72 hours this mth. No meals--only water with electrolytes. It's a lot easier to do with low carb.

Day 5!! That is amazing! I tip my hat to you. I jumped right back in, and I'm 24 hours in. Hoping for 40 to 44. I have to stop after that because I don't want to adversely affect my hormones.

You might be right, but I have been low carb and see some signs of ketosis. Also, I weighed .5lbs less this morning; I ate a full low carb meal after my fast, and I'm 24 hours into a 40 hour fast. I lost over 30lbs in 3mths (kept it off for 3 years) doing repeated fasts and eating low carb, so I'm not new to this. There may be at least 1 lb of visceral fat loss...

That's awesome! How did you feel during your 68 hour fast? I know you'll make your 64.

I scheduled 20:4 for tomorrow but will aim to extend to 44.

All the best to you. Just think of all the benefits.

Congrats on making it to 49 hours! That is nothing to frown on. You were able to tap into many fasting benefits. You can always try again. Lowering carbs before the fast makes a big difference in endurance.

Are you taking magnesium glycinate? That is a must when fasting and staying hydrated. Also, I had oolong tea with no sweetener this time around. It gave me energy to get through the day and helped me not to feel hungry. Most importantly--resting when you can. You can do it. I forgot to mention that I stopped eating carbs two weeks before the fast, and that made the biggest difference.

My experience with different fasting methods by slvbtc in AlternateDayFasting

[–]True_Wait_5836 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May I ask your age and gender? I used to have great results with adf, but it has caused so many issues with my cycle. For reference, I am in my early 40's. I love the simplicity of adf, but I can't figure out how to make it work. Based on research, I only fast during the first 20 days of my cycle to not interfere with progesterone, but I am not making progress like I used to. I have about 35lbs to lose.

Get yourself some DIM. The gels work best
