I have to break the fasting.

.

I will probably be going to two smaller meals a day.  And, when I can, I will get in to buy greens and some other items... foods rich in what I need.  Oh, it got a bit rough there.  Still is from time to time.  Most likely too little potassium, though other electrolytes were also rather low.  I'll work on those.  When I feel they are back on track, I will go back to fasting.  There is some hope that, with these things managed, perhaps the fasting will be more successful.  One which hadn't been on my radar until now was B5.  I am still looking for a trustworthy source.  That may not have been as important until now, or maybe it was something missing all along, a part of the problem.

When something is out, due to a bad heart, diabetes, etc, either the body fails to hold onto what it needs, was missing it already as part of the problem, or through illness the lack of proper nutrition leads to a lack of the right stuff.  Then again, much of the modern American diet really doesn't have nutrition.  Fats, of the worst kind, extra salt and sugar to cover the bad taste and empty of nutrient food, or even added but unnatural vitamins such.  While supplements are inferior to foods naturally rich, such foods, at some point in deficiency, simply cannot be eaten in the volume necessary.  And, at least with supplements, you can choose the type of replacement added to your diet.  When added to food, they don't pick the best type or the easiest to digest, they pick the cheapest.

I am back on vitamins.  I have potassium on the way.  And I am searching for B5.  And I am back to normal foods.  Why?  Extremely hard heartbeats, and fast, with some pains.  It wouldn't slow down, relax.  Yeah, that is very likely potassium deficiency.  And it also means I need to take it easy, for the most part.  I have been, if I had been pushing past that in the last few days.  Yeah, best relax and go slow even when I go shopping.  Very unnerving to have a heart go off the rails.  Not something I am used to sensing.  At least I might have a fix, along with diet change and weight loss.  We'll see.

Oh, right... blood sugar 221.  And I will continue with the keto (high fat low carb) diet, only probably adding slightly more carbs in the way of greens.  I will be cutting per meal consumption.  Perhaps splitting and less what I had been eating.  At least until I have been on the replacements and have a sense that things are back in some kind of order.  I've got to admit, I don't mind the break.  But the fasting really wasn't all that bad either.  Just, like, I don't know, a holiday.
