Cramps ): UGHH!

2inlove04 · 06-24-2011, 05:20 AM

Hello All,

It's day 3 for me and I was suddenly and PAINFULLY awaken @ 4:30am with a HORRIFIC leg cramp that cause my calf and foot to be in a paralyzed state.. I've never experienced this before in the past when I've done this WOE and had over 80 oz of water yesterday, I had 2 shakes and a salad from Subway, about 20 oz of coffee & 2 pickle spears as a snack... Any thoughts on what I can do to prevent this in the future? I'm happy to report I'm 3lbs down in 3 days so I'm doing well!

Are you taking a magnesium/calcium supplement? If not, you might want to try it. Helped me, for sure.

I'm not currently taking anything but I plan to also start taking a prenatal as Atkins has always regulated my cycle and we're trying to get pregnant well when it happens... Thank you

A lc woe is very diuretic at the onset-try some Morton Lite Salt on your foods or supps to bring your electrolytes back in balance.
