Hi ML,

What supplements are you taking? And how much water are you drinking? Because low potassium and /or dehydration can cause dizziness. You need a minimum of 64 oz water daily PLUS another 8 oz for every 25 pounds you need to lose.

Low carbing can make us lose a lot of extra water, which can lead to a potassium deficiency. You replace potassium either by taking tablets, or switching to a potassium salt such as Nu Salt or No Salt (just sprinkle on your food, as with normal salt).

The Drs Eades suggest that early in low carbing an extra 400mg daily is a good idea.
If you take the tablets, they should be taken in divided doses, and with food, as they may otherwise cause stomach irritation.

One more thing: People who are taking tablets for high blood pressure or fluid tablets should not take potassium supplements without first checking with their pharmacist.

HTH!
