Thanks.
I get a lot of potassium in my diet. I've read some stuff that made me believe that the cramps come from an imbalance between potassium and sodium plus newest research points to that balance as the true culprit with high blood pressure rather than just straight sodium levels so I am not super concerned with it. I mostly just don't want the cramps.
When dieting, especially on down days, I seem to be peeing all of the time so it makes sense that I could get low on electrolytes.
