I have been seeing articles lately casting a poor reflection on low carb and/or keto way of eating stating that they cause an increase in afib potential, I think around 16% increase?

So I figure for a lot of people, weight is something that we want to lose or control to some extent. I have been seeing articles lately casting a poor reflection on low carb and/or keto way of eating stating that they cause an increase in afib potential, I think around 16% increase? ...

... I am wanting to ask of those here that are low carb or keto if you feel that this has been or may be an issue for you? or on the flip side if either way of eating (low carb / keto) has been a blessing for you and help your afib? thank you, I look forward to learning your experience as it helps me to make decisions for myself.

Additionally, all fruits have as their primary insulin inducer the sugar called fructose. This one sugar is hardest on the liver, and only the liver can convert it to usable form.

Thanks Susan! Agree, the second link is probably what he is saying.Quote

I see him Monday, I’ll ask. I recalled from his advice in 2006 the answer was similar to the second link regarding insulin resistance. I lost the weight using an app in which I calculated my diet for the day based on carbs proteins and veggies (I’m dairy free) . I calculated my daily diet in advance (easier) and I didn’t stray. Being anal helped keeping my control of what I ate. I brought my scale with me if I ate out.
I used the app “MyFitnessPal “…free version at the time but it still works even without using their monthly premium plan. I use the nutrition section and set a goal. For me it was 90g protein, 120g carbs, 45g sugar (from veggies and fruit), 40g total fat. I suggest you ask your dr for recommendations on how much grams you need.
I googled in the meantime:
