[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 934758, member: 41816"] There's a thing that happens on low carb, especially in the early days, where glycogen stores are depleted and the fluid that used to hold the glycogen is flushed away, taking electrolytes with them. Lots of people with 'low carb flu' end up needing to take in extra salt. Hopefully that will be beneficial to you, instead of being a pain in the rear, like it is for most of us! Personally, if I don't make sure I get enough potassium, magnesium AND table salt, especially in hot weather, I find that cramps strike horribly regularly. Volek and Phinney have a whole chapter on this in the Art and Science of Low Carb Living - which I think is the best Low Carb book I have found so far. [/QUOTE]
