Low carb's issue with afib is usually an electrolyte disturbance caused by low insulin. High insulin signals the kidneys to retain sodium. Low insulin the reverse. In dramatic cases, the sodium excretion is dramatic enough that potassium excretion is also an issue. However, it normally takes carb restriction to < 50 or even <20 g/day to cause this.
The late Joseph Kraft MD did about 15,000 oral glucose tolerance tests with insulin assays. One of his insulin patterns was "Type 5" which was a low flat response. This could be caused by either pancreatic insufficiency or a low carb/keto diet. His recommendation was to consume 150 g carbs/day to differentiate between the two states. Point being that 150 g/day unlikely to cause the electrolyte issue.
Not sure how the dehydration will play out.

What kind of fruit were you eating? Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries are all good to eat, I don't know why fruit is getting such a bad rap.
Well lots of banana, berries, apples, mangos, fish, dates, grapes probably equivalent to 15 servings a day love me some fruit

I was eating a very high carb diet due to large amount of fruit in take I mean alot. Maybe the the large swing from a ton of carbs to under 150 a day is throwing me out of wack?
What was the rest of your diet like - before and after?
