Leg cramping is a common side effect of the Atkins diet. Photo Credit Hemera Technologies/AbleStock.com/Getty Images. The Atkins diet is a type of low=carbohydrate diet.

A mineral deficiency of calcium and/or magnesium is probably the most frequent cause of night leg cramping. Cramps are often caused by a lack of potassium, resulting in an electrytic imbalance. Strenuous exercise with sweating and diarrhea or other bowel disease may cause loss of potassium and other important minerals.
