very sore legs is this normal?

[djc1979]

I have been doing Atkins now for 2 weeks, and have had pretty steady weight loss. i work out 2-3 times a week, usually cardio. The problem i am having is my legs are very sore, cramping up and just don't feel good at all. i drink a lot of water every day so i know i'm not dehydrated. i saw on another thread something about potassium, i do take a mulivitiman but i don't know how much potassium is in it. i am wondering if anyone else has had this happen and how they fixed it.


thanks

Get some high in potassium foods into your daily eating,

Heres some, the highest in potassium i've bolded.

Avocado
Spinach
Tomatoes
Asparagus
Broccoli
Eggplant
Mushrooms

Make sure you're drinking your water too.
