I have been eating Keto for a month tomorrow and have lost 7 lbs. After having thyroid issues, the weight had been creeping up, so I decided to go drastic. I also started putting MCT oil in my water in the mornings because I don't like BulletProof coffee or coffee for that matter.
Today, I went to the doctor to get my blood work done so I can see if my blood work improves when doing Keto. We talked about how I've lost weight, my blood pressure is good, and then we started talking about exercise.
I started to feel dizzy and the next thing I know, my doctor is in the room holding my feet up and there are four nurses around me. I was drenched in sweat. While I was out, they had checked my blood sugar which was normal, and attached electrodes to me and checked my heart which was also good.
I finished up the appointment and got my lab work done. After I got home, it really worried me as to why I would faint. I haven't fainted in decades and that was typically due to anemia. Typically, at that time of day, I'm on the toll road doing 70 mph on the way to work.
The only thing different lately is the Keto and MCT oil. I Googled that with fainting. I'm not the only person this has happened to. I think I fainted partially because I was fasting. As fast as I went down, it was very scary. I luckily fell back on the cushioned table. The nurse said that I said "I don't feel good" before I went down, but I don't remember it. Anyway, this is a precaution for anyone taking MCT oil. Start slow.
It's a great life!!!
