Like many of you, I don't use table salt on anything. I've become so aware of water retention because I have not been losing weight and I stick to Atkins. Sometimes I go over my 10-12% cals, but that's it.

Personally, I've given up what I thought of high sodium foods, but as I began to pay attention to ingredients, I noticed no matter what I ate it had sodium. I eat very few processed foods, but even an oz of cheese is loaded with sodium. Apparently there is no way to get rid of it.

Doreen, is it possible to get too much potassium? When I gave up bananas (my previous potassium source) I started taking potassium supplements. I eat some of the foods you listed as potassium sources. I'd love to eat peanut butter, but I don't think I'm strong enough not to eat too much.
