ohsherry Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I'm on Day 7 and feel great, except for one thing. The last two days I've had leg and toe cramps that are pretty painful. I swim most days and two days ago had both thigh and toe cramps. I hopped on my bike yesterday and the same thing happened. Any suggestions? I don't eat beef or pork, but do eat fish, eggs and chicken and so far have followed the plan exactly. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted May 7, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 7, 2016 Are you salting your food? Drinking plenty of water (like, 1/2 oz per pound of body weight, so if you weigh 120 lbs aim for at least 60 oz of water)? If you're doing both of those, you might need magnesium or potassium.

JulieP757 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I add a little salt to my water (1/4 tsp) when I exercise. Really helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohsherry Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 Thanks, all. I'm not using much salt, so I will up that. I do drink plenty of water, but I will look into both the potassium and magnesium. I haven't had toe cramps like that since I was a teenager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
