    Diet: Lipotrim 1st time

    Salt intake?

    Just thinking out loud, am I correct in thinking that when you do not have the relevent salt levels you will suffer from severe muscle cramps. This seems to be the case when you indulge in excercise and heavily sweat e.g. runners. Or does the LT diet include or use an alternative to salt?
    If cramps were to occur whats the best cure? Other than stretching the affected muscleor taking a salt shot what should you do as they state 'try not flavour with salt'!
    Any thoughts on this subject. By the way I have not suffered from any cramp, it was just a thought.

    I am not sure what causes it, but there must be something in this diet that triggers it?

    I'd love to know what exactly it is that's causing them?!?!
    I don't normally get them and I'm geting them really bad. Google tells me it's common on LT, but why?!?!

    Glad i'm not alone in that!

    It might have something to do with ketosis making you feel cold. I think when your in ketosis, your blood thins and goes to your vital organs, hense why we get cold hands and feet. So if pins and needles are caused by blood circulations, maybe its cos there isnt as much blood in our arms and legs. This is just a guess by the way
