Try it with other fats, such as VCO and beef tallow, just to stay consistent with being non-PUFA. It will likely have the same effect. I've been there.

I couldn't figure out why nor even venture a guess then. But I can try one guess now.

That much fat, especially in a mono-macro intake, has a major Randle effect, where all metabolism shifts to fat oxidation, causing the absorption and metabolism of blood sugar to come to a standstill. Even without sugar intake, blood sugar will still rise up and cause enough of an insulin response thst drives down blood sugar to hypoglycemic lows. Just becoming hypoglycemic is enough of a disturbance with a cascading effect that makes your heart stressed. Expressed as difficulty in pumping blood. Felt as palpitations.

It is temporary though.

@yerrag thanks, ye that makes sense

@the-MOUSE did you get cold or warm when the palpitations happened? Because butyric acid helps T3 enter the mitochondrion, so it could have been that. If that’s what it was then more magnesium could help

Are you sure it is the heart? I think it could be the gallbladder secreting more bile acid to digest the butter, sometimes it happens to me after a fat heavy meal.
