Help Getting Past 4 Days, Heart Flutter, Supplement Help

[Hellokitty388]

Hi, all! I’ve fasted several times for 4 days in the past and can never seem to get past that because my heart feels weird. Like fluttery and I can hear the pounding in my head. I read to take electrolytes so I’ve been putting these trace minerals in my water. Is this sufficient? I’m 48 hours in and the flutters are starting.

And TMI, but it seems to give me diarrhea. I CANNOT drink this at work.

Also, someone else on another forum suggested Ultima. Doesn’t seem to help much. Tastes great, though.

Thoughts on what I’m doing wrong/need to change? Thanks!!!

@Yasemin. This one’s for you I think to answer. I got nothing…

@Hellokitty388 How do you feel if you just have a little salt?

[Hellokitty388]

@donna It gives me energy, but then I’m jittery. Shaky hands. Restless legs.

You need to take potassium ASAP. If you feel anxious or your heart starts to beat fast you are low in potassium.

@Hellokitty388 Unsweetened coconut water is a good source of potassium. You can also buy NoSalt (potassium chloride) at the grocery store near the table salt.

You might google the recipe for Snake Juice and drink that instead of worrying with various kinds of electrolyte supplements.

You can find a way to make fasting work for you.
