Which DID happen to me when I tried to cut back on dairy a few times.

Well now, I'm on day 28 of Atkins. No dairy. Only had 2 tbsp of sour cream this whole time and one glass of milk the first or second day, before I realized milk and dairy was out of the question. Heck, I haven't even hardly eaten any cheese for that matter. And not a lick of yogurt. A couple of 1/3 cups of ricotta a few times, but that is IT.

And guess what? NO LEG CRAMPS!!

I don't understand why???

Does anyone understand this? Why have I not had any leg cramps at all if I've had no dairy? I would LOVE to have some dairy, but I'm avoiding it like the plague.....

just confused about this cramp issue............
