Today, we’re going to talk about carbs and energy. Many people think they need carbs for energy, but they don’t.


When you eat carbs, you lose potassium. Low potassium can cause symptoms such as:

• Fatigue

• Weakness

• Paralysis

• Leg cramps

• Abnormal heart rhythm

• High blood pressure

• Tremors


There is something called insulin-induced hypokalemia. Hypokalemia is low potassium. When you stimulate insulin because your carbs are high, you block an enzyme, which is a pump. You have millions of these in all of your cells.


This pump basically keeps the potassium inside of the cell and the sodium outside of the cell to form an electrical gradient so it can act as a battery. 30% of all of the energy in the body is allocated to this pump. If you inhibit this pump, more potassium stays outside of the cell, and you start losing potassium.


There are more causes of a potassium deficiency such as:

• A spike in insulin

• Not consuming enough potassium foods

• Loss of fluid

• Steroids

• Alkalosis

• Diuretics

• A decrease in magnesium
