    Everyone is Great

    Wow, this truely is an amazing board I am so thankful for all of the responses my last post got.. I am so happy to have an 'Atkins Family'. I have another question, has anyone ever had really really bad lower leg cramps? This morning I woke up with them, and they've kind of lingered all day.. not sure if this Atkins related or not..

    yep there are several causes but the most common one can be you have flushed you electolytes with all the water drinking and not replacing them with good food choices. you can add as Dr Atkins says potassium,magnesium and calcium and see if they go way.

        They are horrible, aren't they? Used to wake me up in the middle of the night last time...I added the supplements 2big says and they went away... but this time I am vigilant in getting all my veggies in and I have not had that problem... so keep an eye on those as well! Good Luck and keep us updated

          Keep your fingers crossed, but I have not had bad leg cramps. Last time when I was on Atkins, I did have some minor ones, but I guess my brain finally caught up with me and decided that they were unecessary. LOL! Anyway, we are glad to have you here.

            Hey Jen!

            Potassium, calcium and magnesium is the way to go and works for me too.

            I'm glad you're having a good time here.

            You may want to start a journal chat so folks can pop in and "visit" you and you can go visit their journals too. That way you can get to know so many more people.

            1. Start here: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=31

            2. Read the stickies at the top.

            3. Create your journal.
