I went strict carnivore for five months and started getting terrible leg cramps at night. I salt my food heavily. I supplemented magnesium, potassium, and calcium in citrate form with no luck. Added fruit, honey, and raw milk to my meat based diet and I no longer have leg cramps. I'm not sure how some people can eat straight meat and not experience electrolyte imbalances.

My approach to Carnivore is "mostly not plants", so I am having quite a bit of dairy.

Will be having yogurt with berries this morning.

I am seeing lots of good changes already by cutting out most plants.

Thanks for your sharing your experience.

Totally man. You're probably a lot smarter than me with your approach. I followed Ken Berry's beef, butter, bacon and eggs to a "T" and it about ruined me. I don't give up easily. I thought maybe I could struggle through the electrolyte imbalances and my body would adapt sooner or later. Nope!
