Hello,

My wife and I started the Atkins Diet about 6 weeks ago, I have lost 30 and my wife has lost 20 pounds (I am fatter, and I have more to loose). Well, my wife has developed really bad leg cramps at night to the point that she get hardly any sleep.

She works 8 to 10 hours a day, and I really don't think she needs additional exercise. She takes the following:

Centrum Performance Multi-Vit. once a day
1 Baby Asperin (non-diet reasons)
Wellbutrun (non-diet reasons)
Atkins Essential Oils once a day
Atkins Dieters Advantage 2 pill before each meal
Super B-Complex once a day
300 mg Calcium once a day
250 mg Magnesium once a day
and finally
550 mg Potassium Gluconate once a day

And, she drinks over 120 oz. of water a day.

But she still has leg cramps, however I take none of these and drink around 75 oz of water a day, and do not have leg cramps. She is in so much pain that she is thinking about dropping out of the diet completely.

Any help would be welcome.

Robert
