Magnesium or potassium deficiency can cause cramps. Try magnesium supplements and bananas or nusalt.Are my leg cramps related to my current diet? Is they a way to diminish them?
I have found good keto recipes through Google.

Bananas are a problem on a keto diet. 50 gm of carbs per banana. Bell peppers have a lot of potassium. Otherwise this is a good suggestion.
Even though you aren’t avoiding salt, you still may need to add more if you are dealing with symptomsI have been eating plenty of small avocados 2-3 a week. I am also not avoiding salt. I made some soup today and used regular broth not low sodium and if a recipe calls for salt I use it. I have never been one to add tons of salt on top of my food though.
The electrolyte shifts that happen on the low-carb diet are largely the result of the loss of salt through more frequent urination. When the consumption of carbohydrates is low, the body releases less insulin, which causes the kidneys to excrete more salt in the urine.24
So, point of fact, you need more salt when you eat a low-carb ketogenic diet, as Diet Doctor has discussed in other posts.
Many people coming to the low-carb keto diet have not only heeded nutritional advice to avoid fat for years, they have also avoided salt for years. You may have to be really conscious of consuming more salt, especially on hot days or after working out. Don’t be afraid to add salt to your food and try adding a few shakes of salt to a glass of water or drink salted bone broth regularly.

But yesterday we discovered this bread:
and it's amazing. Seems too good to be true, but I don't want to prick my fingers to test it.
We found it at Eureka Natural Foods—it's the first time I've found something healthy at a natural foods store (most stuff is high carb, low fat)!
I did keto for the first two weeks of this year and lost 11 lbs--but then I stopped and I gained all that back in VERY short order. (Once I got out of ketosis, it seemed to be taking forever to get back IN, so I guess I got impatient.) Sigh. Story of my weight-loss life. I'm the definition of a yo-yo dieter.
No, I did it to correct fasting insulin and highish triglycerides.Audreyh1, are you doing keto in order to lose weight? If so, may I ask how that's going? You started last August, right?

I've always thought too much fat caused constipation. I could be proven wrong.What solved the problem was adding more fat. Problem solved.
Well it is not a problem for me or DH. We have both found it very beneficial.I've always thought too much fat caused constipation. I could be proven wrong.
