I agree with the potassium deficiency theory. I am a ballet dancer and I am dancing 8-10 hours a day. When I first started the Induction phase of Atkins, I experienced the tingly feeling in my fingers. I ignored it for awhile, but then I started feeling extremely lightheaded and very nauseated and starting seeing black spots after a hard workout. I did a little research and started taking potassium and magnesium supplements, which are not included in the majority of daily multivitamins. When you sweat a lot, you lose electrolytes, and although water helps immensely, your bodies needs that potassium replaced. Hopefully this helps you!
