[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 2295607, member: 93179"] It's possible , generally early on, with a low carb diet, to "wee out" lot of fluid, and with this go essential minerals, i.e. potassium and magnesium and dare i mention salt. So they need replacing, and a number of the vegetables & fruits , e.g. [USER=524245]@LaoDan[/USER]'s avocados, recommended for low carb are also high in potassium and magnesium and I try to include these in my diet. Years before diabetes "struck", I was on diuretics, and used to get bad leg cramps from potassium loss they caused, A daily banana was my go-to solution then but obviously not now on a low carb diet if this happens. Apparently some of the low carb options are actually higher in their mineral content (try Google for lists). [/QUOTE]
