Atkins Leg Cramps
If you are on a low carb diet like Atkins, you may start having leg cramps at night. I always seem to notice them after about a week. It usually signals that the diet is working. It’s caused by low calcium or potassium. With me, it seems to be calcium and taking a supplement usually stops them. Some people also say that drinking diet tonic water helps. Since vodka has zero carbs, you can have a nice cocktail before bed to really relax your muscles.
