10 Side Effects of Ketosis
Ketosis Side Effect #8: Muscle Cramping
When you first start a ketogenic diet, you will probably lose a lot of minerals as your body excretes stored water. The loss of these minerals, particularly magnesium, can lead to muscle cramps. Cramps are particularly common in the legs.
One of the best ways to avoid this is to make sure your diet includes a high amount of minerals. Make sure you maintain your sodium levels, and drink lots of water.
