[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 1840449, member: 400972"] Brilliant! You have a goodun there, don’t let her go! Just a comment about magnesium and potassium deficits on low carb eating. When I first started it I kept getting terrible cramps in my feet and ankles at night. It was suggested on this forum that it might be magnesium or potassium deficiency. Indeed my blood tests two months after diagnosis showed low potassium, magnesium wasn’t tested. I bought some magnesium spray as it is better absorbed via the skin than tablets. I applied it every night til the bottle ran out. It worked very quickly on the cramps. I also started using pink Himalayan sea salt which as well as sodium contains potassium and magnesium, my low carb ‘porridge’ which I have for breakfast calls for a pinch of salt so I use the pink stuff in it and no more cramps :) [/QUOTE]
