Leg Cramps

I may have posted about this years ago under my other account that I can no longer access. So I'll do it again.

Has anyone been experiencing leg cramps? I noticed that after my recent fill I have been getting them more and more frequently. Could my change in caloric intake be causing more leg cramps?

If I don't get my "normal" water intake in everyday I do get leg cramps. I think now my body depends on my high water consumption everyday and I get a hungover feeling when u don't reach it. It's almost like being dehydrated. I would try drinking more water and see if it helps.

I have the same problem. I didn't think it could be sure to not drinking enough water. Thanks

I have always understood leg cramps are caused by low potassium , try eating a banana daily

I too have leg cramping. Water increase did not help, potassium did not help. I had to add a magnesium and Calcium to calm down the cramping.

Also, check water intake.

Water is good but if I drink anymore water I'll drown LOL

Potassium supplements help (I have a hard time eating bananas they tend to get stuck)

I have also been told to add magnesium and calcium.

Glad to know I'm not alone with the leg cramp problem.

Thanks Everyone!

Yeah, when I first started after a couple months out, I had cramping really bad. Nearly a month. I'm okay now. It was tough.
