A member asked:
I asked a poll of benign fasciculation syndrome and the common denominator of participants is it happens to athletic people that eat low carbs. why?

Unknown: The true cause of benign fasciculations is yet unknown. To my knowledge there is no study to prove association of low carb diet and bfs. Once serious causes of fasciculations have been ruled out, one should stop worrying about it.
