Has anyone else experienced Charlie horse/ calf cramping while doing omad/long fasts?

Have been fasting for a few months and have started having this problem recently, am wondering if it’s related to fasting.

Answer

OMAD (29/f) I take two magnesium pills every night before bed and throughout the day I drink Lyte show with my water. Cramps use to be a big problem for me but not anymore with this regiment.

Answer

Often get this when starting out a fat loss program, especially keto/low carb.

For years didn’t know why, but found out last year it can be related to water loss (especially pronounced with low carb) as when you dump the water it takes salts (e.g. potassium) with it

Answer

Thank you all very much for this enlightening information! It definitely concerns me and I will definitely be looking into vitamins now to ensure healthy fasting.

After all your input I went and bought bananas and a 2 litre coconut water and didn’t cramp for the first night in weeks!! Thank you all so much! Love this community ❤
