I am a healthy active 60 yr old woman and i have been on a ketogenic diet for 2 yrs, 1 month. I did not have weight to lose. Instead, after reading Deep Nutrition, gary taube’s articles, Nina t’s book, etc., i became convinced that moving from my 50 yr Low fat, whole grains, vegetarian diet to a LCHF diet would improve my cognitive abilities, my body composition, alleviate my constant hunger and ‘hangriness’ and many other less than optimal smptoms i felt i was experiencing.
Here’s the rub and the concern id love to have this community comment on. I am experiencing heart palpitations which arose when i began the LCHF diet and have continued to today. I am taking a magnesium and potassium supplement and it seems to help some, iit alao has recked havoc with my digestive system and i have constant loose bowel movements- not good.
Has anyone experienced this and can anyone offer suggestions please? Thank you for taking the time to weigh in.
