When on a low carb diet, the importance of Potassium must be understood. It helps water balance, blood pressure, digestion, and more. The body cannot make potassium so it must be eaten. The first few weeks of a keto diet are hard due to losing a significant amount of water, which affects the electrolyte balance. Symptoms include ramps, heart arrhythmias, and fatigue. To combat this, people need to eat potassium rich foods such as spinach, avocados, zucchini, salmon, beef, mushrooms, cauliflower, and nuts and seeds. Always consult with a professional before supplementing.<\/p>\n
