    I work out quite a bit myself and had wicked cramps in the beginning of Atkins. I started taking magnesium supplements and they went away within a day. I also find that I need to drink a lot of water.

    Good luck, they can be quite painful!

        I was getting leg cramps pretty bad for the first several weeks. They've pretty much tapered off, now, except the occasional calf cramp while sleeping.

        I tried every piece of advice, and nothing seemed to make a difference. The only relief I've found is Hyland's Leg Cramps pills. You can find them at walmart if you look hard enough.

          Potassium, Magnesium and WATER are usually the best cure for cramps.
