Since i have started doing Atkins i have had terrible leg cramps. How can i alleviate them?
During the first week of Induction, some people experience a strong diuretic effect. When you lose a large amount of water as you do at the start of any weight-loss programme, you also lose electrolytes, which contain the minerals potassium, magnesium and calcium, resulting in leg cramps. To replace these vital nutrients, salt your food to taste and take a mineral supplement that includes calcium, magnesium and potassium, such as Atkins Basic 3.
