Today, we’re going to talk about muscle twitching and keto.
What is tetany or twitching?
Tetany or twitching is little nerve impulses that can happen anywhere in the body at random.
Muscle twitching or tetany causes:
• Lack of certain electrolytes
• A pH problem
Keto and twitching:
When you start doing keto, ketones are acidic, so the twitching is probably not being caused by a pH problem. It’s most likely an electrolyte problem. There this one key group of nutrients that you need more of while on the ketogenic diet, and that is electrolytes.
If you’re doing keto and you’re not doing enough electrolytes or vegetables, then that’s probably why you have the twitching.
The electrolyte deficiencies that may be causing this issue are low magnesium or low calcium, which both can also be caused by having low potassium.
