Low Potassium Diet: Foods to Include and Avoid

8. How Low Potassium Foods Turn into Too Much

Patients required to follow a low-potassium diet have to be vigilant about what they eat. Not only that, they must measure how much of their favorite low-potassium foods they eat. Eating three servings of a food low in potassium negates the benefits of choosing that food in the first place. Combining two or three low-potassium ingredients can turn a healthy meal into one that contains too much potassium.
