Thanks Koko!
Hi Gale. Yes, you're absolutely right. I've analyzed what I've been eating while on this diet, and my potassium intake is much less than my norm while my sodium intake is much higher. In the past, I've always tried to at the very least keep it a one to one ratio.
I have considered adding a supplement, but not entirely convinced it would be as effective as extracting potassium naturally from foods.
That being said, I have begun to take a one a day multivitamin. Of course, the mgs of postassium wouldn't be nearly as high as a specific potassium suppliment. My plan now is to tough it out one more week and once off Induction, I can easily raise my potassium level to what it was in the past.
