[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2004103, member: 41816"] I would have a read up about getting enough salt, magnesium and potassium while low carbing. Particularly the last two, since symptoms of deficiency can include muscle weakness, trembling and spasms. Also, are you actually eating [B][I]enough[/I][/B]? Or have you cut your food down in a push for losing that last 5 kg? Some people find that consistently cutting calories will actually stall weight loss, because the metabolism drops to preserve energy needs. OF course, both of those are pure speculation. I hope you find the answer. As for your neuropathy, have a look around the forum for threads on it. You will find a number of people find R-ALA helps with improving the symptoms, and many find that keeping their blood glucose as low and as steady as possible also helps - but I am afraid that adding in fruit is likely to cause rapid sharp spikes in blood glucose that may happen before you test at 1 or 2 hours (for me, the spike is usually at 45 mins with sweet fruit), so you may have more blood glucose fluctuations than you realise.
