cgrunnergirl Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Hi All, Day 10 for me and all I want is to give into my cravings for sugar and dessert. I am not a daily dessert person but after each meal all I want is something sweet, HELP! I am promising myself I will not go to the dried fruit today, because it seems like, all I want is more when I do. Any great suggestions? Also, at night in bed I am fighting what I call "Jimmy legs" or restless legs. My legs ache and no matter how much I stretch them out it continues and comes in waves. It prevents me from falling asleep but once I am asleep it is gone. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phanniemae Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Show us what your food is like. Do you get some carbs in there? I've experienced "jimmy legs" when I'm insanely low carb... Talk about frustrating!! A moderator will prolly have some great advice for you after seeing your meals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgrunnergirl Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Is this where I should post my meals or a different spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverscreen Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Yeah, post you meals in this thread Magnesium supplement helpes against restless legs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I agree - magnesium helped me a LOT...I think. Somewhere around day 7 or 8 I started waking up a lot at night and feeling super-restless (everywhere, not just legs). After a few days and some advice on the forum, I upped my magnesium from 200 mg to 400 mg about 2 hours before bed and it helped a lot. I didn't change my carb intake or anything else at all. The only thing is...I wonder if it was the magnesium that helped, or if it was just something my body needed to work out. At any rate, I'm sticking with the magnesium!
