Thanks for posting this! I've bookmarked it and will read it over the weekend. I have MAJOR issues with cramps when I go low-carb. I even had the fortune of coincidentally having blood work done when I was low-carbing and cramping and all my electrolytes came back in the normal range but still had cramps.
When I go low-carb, I start getting cramps in my upper back muscles, abdominal muscles and even the muscles around the ribcage. Very annoying. I probably don't adequately hydrate, either. Back in the 90's, I went for a ride that probably wasn't more than 10 miles but it was a very, very hot day. I came home and hung my wet black shirt on the shower curtain to dry and the next day it was literally streaked white from all the salts (and who knows what else) I had secreted in my sweat. It was a real eye opener.
