Sore legs

I'm currently doing the 16:8 diet and it's working really well for me but I've noticed my legs are in agony! Particularly my calves.

I'm not dehydrated as I'm drinking tonnes of water so is this just a side affect of me doing this fasting?

Could be a potassium or magnesium deficiency.

Low potassium does this to me. Try having a glass of water with an electrolyte tablet in it once a day.

High5 zero ones are quite good if you are on a diet as they don't have any sugar in, like these

This is good to know. I'll give those a go. Thanks both.
