Man Rushed to the Hospital After Nearly Dying Because He Missed This Key Nutrient for Breakfast

[@Elnerist]

I started getting light headed and my heart started beating irregularly after a few weeks on Keto. I was eating around 20 grams of carbs or less a day. So I decided to add vegetables higher in carbs, fruit and intermittent fasting. Things definitely changed for the better after that.

I am on Carnivore and I have itchiness at the bottom of my left foot it seems it gets better when I ate a normal meal.

[@AH-yu2pi]

​@@MontgomeryHeartWellnessHave you ever hear of Rabbit Starvation/ Fat Starvation? Concept implies that you eat meat fats to replace your body's use of carbs (sugars) for energy. When changing to Jet diet, it's advised to gradually increase fat intake as you lower carbs.

[@Double-H87]

Thanks!! I suffered stage 4 heart failure after 7 years on the Keto diet. I know exactly what this patient went through. I’m now a raw vegan and I’m doing great!!

[@stacyrich113]

From one extreme to another. Why?

[@MontgomeryHeartWellness]

Very smart decision.

[@candrad]

Thank you, I have been cutting out most carbs and running low on energy and my doctor said my potassium levels were too high and I didn’t understand it! You may have saved my life without even meeting me 😊

[@MontgomeryHeartWellness]

Wonderful!

PRAISE THE MOST HIGH FOR THE GREAT MEDICAL TREATMENT OF THIS PATIENT. I ALWAYS ENJOY HOW SIMPLE YOU BREAK DOWN THE PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE BODY.

[@vcbrittney4072]

Not consuming any carbohydrates sounds like carnivore diet rather than a low carb keto diet. My aunt who is Type 2 has recently began a keto program through her insurance to reverse her diabetes. They took her from years of eating a high carb diet to an immediate 30g daily carb diet. I tried to explain that her body, used to utilizing carbs for energy, has no keto adaption mechanism. Why would it? She has never needed to resort to burning fat for energy. It is unrealistic and dangerous to expect the body to go from burning carbs to ketones overnight. Trying to reverse a metabolic issue by creating a different metabolic issue is foolish. But of course, the majority of people believe that the medical industry knows best. They don’t stop to think that the information and management long sowed by the medical industry regarding diet and pharmaceutical management of this disease has been a farce all along. It has always been about ‘managing’ the disease rather than reversing it because it makes you a patient for life.

[@danpan001]

Really? Most doctors would not use diet to reverse diabetes. They would just give you metformin

[@dragonwithagirltattoo598]

You’re awesome Doc. If I have any heart problems I really hope I’m lucky enough to have a doctor as knowledgeable as you! Thank you!

[@emmawatson9593]

Thank you. I appreciate the detailed explanation. Best wishes to you and the patient.

[@kyleegarcia5569]

I developed a very concerning heart arrhythmia from reduce my carb intake too much. I was running/weight lifting and it was hot outside…for some reason the doctors I saw never gave me a good diagnosis but I corrected the problem by eating more carbs and taking a break from exercising for a bit. Our bodies need balance more than we think!

[@MontgomeryHeartWellness]

Yes

[@shuntalefairbanks6931]

Wow. This is scary! I was always told that carbs were not good and to avoid them. Thanks for this information.

[@MontgomeryHeartWellness]

You're welcome!

[@angelinevanaman2629]

Wow! I’ve been eating lower carb now for 3 years, I do eat natural carbs. I have really cut out any processed foods. I can see how this can happen because you cannot just go full in 100% you need to wean yourself into something like this ,then you can catch side effects. I did start out with the carnivore diet as an elimination diet to see what caused my gastrointestinal issues, including heartburn. I’m now down 40 pounds I have no inflammation in my gut no heartburn, but it definitely took me a while to figure out what I can eat and what I cant eat. 😀👍🏻

[@sharkair2839]

lots of information missing here. his blood pressure was low, no one checked his glucose? that would be odd. was he type one or type two? what meds was he taking? pretty simple to check glucose, mine for example is currently 85. blood pressure 104/68/80 a glucose monitor is $20.00 not everyone has the ability to properly process carbohydrate. excess glucose is toxic.

[@whatsmamadoing3188]

This is an amazing story. Thank you for sharing it. There is so much missing from the keto diet. Common sense should tell people it is not good for them.

Being low carb without focusing on fat adaption is a no no.

[@AH-yu2pi]

Agree. Guess the Doc never heard of Rabbit Starvation/ Fat Starvation. Sounds like the patient wasn't eating fatty meats to provide energy in place of carbs.

[@ericstrickland9866]

Important information!. I had no idea

[@MontgomeryHeartWellness]

[@pinkoceanflower3045]

So if I go on a Ketogenic diet because of insulin resistance, I should only be on keto temporarily?

[@wilfredisadore1100]

What are the specific main carbs should be avoided most pls?

[@MontgomeryHeartWellness]

Simple processed carbs.

[@Fatfearless]

I suspect this guy was not taking in enough fat to produce keytones for heart function. We have all been conditioned to eat low fat. Low fat keto or carnivore is not good.

[@JoeMicalizziMPC]

So in this case a strict Carnivore/Ketogenic diet was potentially deadly without eating some carbs! How prevalent is this, is there a test to see if you're likely to be vulnerable?

[@MontgomeryHeartWellness]

There's no way to know.

[@legrandfromage23]

There’s a channel called Kick It Naturally, and he has a great video about who should not do keto.

[@JoeMicalizziMPC]

@@legrandfromage23 , I have gotten benefits from being dirty Carnivore, eating apples , oranges and very limited veggies so I'm not too worried but concerned.

People considering a Ketoish diets should lower all added sugars and (high glucose fruits and carbs) over a few months before starting these low carb diets. High carbs, excessive calorie diets - obesity and they make hospitals, doctors, drug companies, and nursing homes trillions of dollars.

[@e.williams13]

There's a difference between keto low carb and just LOWER carbs...

[@zoltanszakats8901]

What about gluconeogenesis in the liver, why didn't that work?

[@PatraK-du8ve]

Obviously, it was depleted or it would've kicked in.

[@zoltanszakats8901]

@@PatraK-du8ve That means the guy has way more serious issues than doing or not doing keto.

[@PatraK-du8ve]

@@zoltanszakats8901 I doubt it, it all stems with diet and a severe diet of mostly vegetarian with no carbs, reminds me of me when I was passing out because I was vegetarian and not eating carbs. I was only 20, when it happened. I'm now in my 60's. I remember I felt like my body was falling apart, and I had a lot stomach issues. It wasn't until, I went to see my PCP, that he suggested I start eating meat and to slowly introduce other foods, like potatoes, rice or pasta into my diet. My body recovered and since then I haven't looked back. But I know that if you don't have salt in your diet, for some people it can cause them to pass out due to the blood pressure going too low.

The doctor mentioned that this patient was on a plant based diet which was also eliminating carbohydrates could the combination of the above two have caused the problem?

[@garygiovino3776]

He was not on a plant-based diet before he presented.

[@PatraK-du8ve]

Yes, that's the reason for his blood pressure to tank and since he had no glucose stores his body n heart went into shut down mode.

Carbohydrates is not a nutrient.

[@Lauren-vd4qe]

of course it is

[@BobDeGuerre]

Carbs, particularly complex carbs, are what our bodies break down to form fuel.

[@each1teach141]

It’s a macronutrient like fat and protein are.

[@kasiadane1367]

@@BobDeGuerre All carbohydrates are sugars. Our bodies break it down into blood glucose. In turn, it tells our bodies to make insulin and store the 'fuel' (glucose) not needed at that moment as fat. The fat is then locked away so that the body does not get it released from the fat cells until the body has used the glucose it needed for 'energy' and the insulin drops enough to allow it to be released. That, in turn will never happen if a person consumes carbs again before it can happen, i.e. every few hours except maybe to sleep for about 8-10 hours. It's a lovely way to get and stay fat. It also doesn't have any essential nutrients in it per se as a carbohydrate, just sugar.

[@anntaylor8065]

Along with proteins and fats, carbohydrates are one of three main nutrients found in foods and drinks. Your body breaks down carbohydrates into glucose. Glucose, or blood sugar, is the main source of energy for your body's cells, tissues, and organs. Mar 25, 2024 Medline plus (.gov) Considered ESSENTIAL food nutrient.
