Mary,

I have the achy, crampy calves too.  I think it is due to the initial diuretic
effect of going low carb, which can mess your electrolytes up.  I've been taking
potassium supplements which takes care of the problem.  I was wondering when
this problem would stop.  I don't won't to have to take the potassium
indefinitely.  Maybe some of the more experienced ones here have suggestions?
