I could use some help. I am a guest here and this is my first time in this group. I have been on the carnivore diet for a little over 14 months. I am having consistent leg cramps at night. The cramps are usually in my calves and feet but occasionally in the thighs. They usually start around 3:00 to 4:00 am. I know that electrolyte balance can be a problem on the carnivore diet. I am currently drinking 80 oz. of water with 4 scoops of Re-Lyte brand of electrolytes. I drink more water than this per day but the rest of the water doesn't have electrolytes in it. This gives me 240 mg of Magnesium, 6,340 mg of Chloride, 4,000 mg of Sodium, and 2,000 mg of Potassium. I have also recently started taking 480 mg of Calcium Fructoborate in a Boron supplement (because I read that it can help the body absorb and utilize electrolytes). I have also started drinking on can of LMNT electrolytes late in the day to try and keep the cramps from happening at night. In spite of all of these efforts, I am still getting leg cramps every night.

Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a solution? Any recommendations?

Thanks you for your help!
