Default A thought about no dairy = leg cramps on SBD

Hi everyone. I am doing Atkins now, but did the SBD five years ago and was very successful. One thing I LOVE LOVE LOVE is my milk! So I was happy when I read on SB that we could have milk (lowfat or skim--better than nothing to me) and it if we didn't have our dairy, we could experience leg cramps. 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............
