Sue: Your IF experience is much like mine. It's wonderful for keeping me on the straight and narrow in maintenance and for curing any pesky carb creep. Some days I do get hungrier than others and, like you, at weekends egg and bacon breakfasts are a must-have. Actually, today is a hungry day but I'm white knuckling it.

Leg cramps at night. OMG, I've suffered with them all my adult life no matter how I was eating/drinking/exercising. In my case it took a series of vein ablations last year to get some long-term relief. You'll probably solve your problems with salt, magnesium, and all the other good cures. But if you find that NOTHING works, it would be worthwhile to have a consultation with a vascular surgeon who will do a sonogram to see what's going on with your veins.
