Muscle cramps, palpitations, irritability, fatigue, dizziness, sleeping problems, anxiety, depression, chemical sensitivities - there's loads!
Cheese shouldn't be so much of a problem on a mixed diet as there's magnesium in vegetables/nuts etc, but an an all meat diet that doesn't contain lots of fish it's harder to get enough. However it's the balance that matters - it appears meat doesn't have much magnesium, but neither does it have much calcium either - the ratio between the two is important. Also I think it's possible that a no-carb diet spares magnesium - but then it depends what else (like cheese) you're doing - caffeine, alcohol etc deplete magnesium.
This is one of the reasons I found it hard doing true zero carb - for me I would have to give up all those things in order for it to properly work for me.
