I have been on keto for 4 days. On day 3 I started having severe leg cramps. I have a serving of vegetables with 3 meals. Any suggestions?

    Are you getting electrolytes?
    Adding salt?
    Getting magnesium/potassium?

    Have been having leg cramps too and suggestion has been increasing hydration and having a banana or potato every day.

    Ok I know that this sounds really weird, but my grandma was having really bad leg cramps at night and one of her co-workers told her to take a bar of soap--anything except Dove-- and put it underneath the sheet at the foot of her bed. Sure enough it stopped her cramps....not sure why lol. But hey, if it might help it's worth a shot

    This sounds more like a placebo effect
