Hi Liam,

You've got great stats, you're doing well on Atkins. Extra calcium, magnesium and potassium are usually necessary. Potassium because when you drink lots of water, you can become depleted on this essential mineral. The cheapest way to add potassium is to buy No-Salt (potassium chloride) in the seasoning section of your grocers or at a health food store. Since you are in the UK, the brand name could be different, just check the label for pot/chlor. Use it just like salt in cooking and at the table.

You can search the site for threads that deal with supplements by clicking on the globe icon on the upper right of the screen. I'd suggest searching by 'supplements' or 'cal', 'mag', whatever and by name: doreen T. She's our resident nurse & medical info guru. There's lots of good info in previous threads, it'll keep you busy reading

Post lots, we'd like to get to know you. Have you any recipes or LC wisdom to share?
