Taking a multi - vitamin and drinking at least 3 liters of water a day, still getting leg cramps. Not just in my calves, back of my thighs too.

According to my DANDR, page 147...
And I quote,
" 4. Leg Cramps
If you have leg cramps, it probably means you are losing too many electrolytes, which are full of minerals. Starting any weight loss program has a diuretic effect, which is one of the reasons it is so important to stay hydrated. Supplement with potassium, magnesium and calcium in addition to your multivitamin, and the cramps should disappear. "
