Adding carbohydrates back to the diet, starting with honey and fruit, may improve issues encountered on ketogenic diets, particularly concerning electrolyte balance.

“immediately when i included honey i felt better significantly better the cramping in my legs took a little while to resolve probably weeks maybe even a few months but the palpitations stopped the sleep got better and i immediately felt like my muscles were a little more full and i wasn't cold all the time”

“i did begin to realize that perhaps adding back carbohydrates to my diet could improve some of those issues especially when i found data that i'll share later in this podcast about the important actions of insulin at the level of the kidney for electrolyte maintenance and preservation of those electrolytes things like sodium potassium magnesium calcium et cetera”
