7 Foods High in Potassium (NOT bananas!) - 2024

The average adult needs from between 3500-4700 mg of Potassium each day, we are told. Your body needs this potassium for 1000's of functions, including muscle and brain function. Without enough potassium in your diet you will suffer.

For most people, leg muscle cramps are the first indication of low potassium. Most people who start keto are already have very low potassium levels from their previous SAD Diet There are many keto foods rich in potassium which you can use to replenish your potassium stores.

Good, whole, keto foods give you so much nutrition, but if you need extra potassium, here's the foods to focus on.

Everyone is different. I don't argue with anyone blaming banana for their problems. But as for me the banana does wonders in my stomach. After suffering from IBS for years of constipation, bloating, indigestion, gastritis, etc. but now I'm relieved thanks to these bananas others scorn! I tried different fruits and always had to take laxatives before bowel movements.
A poop once in a week was even difficult. But now thanks to banana i poop everyday. Hallelujah!!!!
Bananas are too good!

Lo-sodium tomato juice and lo-sodium vegetable juice (small cans ) have approximately 600-700 mg of potassium per serving, and 30 calories per serving.

bulk supplements potassium citrate powder. mix 1 teaspoon into your food. twice a day. this equals
the rda of 4700 mg. extra from food is a bonus. also, i mix 1/4 teaspoon salt (~500 mg sodium),
twice a day. this gives 4:1 potassium/sodium ratio.

I really love listening to and learning from Dr. Berry. He is doing a fantastic service to all of us!

2:00 A great method of adding potassium in meaningful amounts would be to dissolve cream of tartar into your liquid of choice. One teaspoon of cream of tartar contains approximately 500 milligrams of potassium. The exact amount may vary slightly based on the brand and specific product.

I'm pretty sure the no salt potassium is the reason I was able to dump my concerta and antidepressant drugs. I'm not depressed anymore. And I took my ADHD to the woodshed. As I don't have that anymore either. Almost 6 months on keto. Thanks for keeping me in this game. I am so grateful for these kinds of supports.

Dr Berry I just got your book “Lies” and I love it! I have suffered with occasional tachycardia SOB weakness out of breath when climbing stairs for years. My cardiologist can’t see anything wrong because my EKG is normal! I have been eating Keto for over a year. and lost about 15 pounds. I am now listening to you about potassium and the side effects of low K are what I have experienced I am trying your advice. Also I am at a stand still of no weight loss lately on my Keto diet! Thank you for all your helpful videos. Laila Swan Los Angeles CA

All true. I had several of the symptoms as described after 4 months on the KETO diet. I now make sure that I eat more of the potassium vegetables to stay healthy. Thanks for the video...

[rosewood]

I am so happy that you explained how much potassium we need. I eat beans, greens and even some Nutritional yeast. I also love liver. BUT I obviously do not eat enough. I have severe brain fog to the point I often will not drive my car. Thank you for clearing this up. I ate all the potassium I could and VERY shortly the fog went away. Today I feel better that I have in a long time. I love all your videos you have helped me. I want to send you something as a thank you.

[mohawksteel]

I purchased Dr. Berry s book : Lies My Doctor Told Me . It is an easy well written book and an eye opener . Buy if you value your health it is well worth it. Thank you Dr. Berry.

[joebotz]

The best potassium supplement I have found is cream of tartar, cheap, bioavailable, and versatile if I'm starting a fast I put some on my hand along with pink Himalayan salt and lick it off have not had keto flu or cramps since doing this

[lyndamedley]

My kidneys are near normal function. I dont usually have the potassium dance problem but i have been having this lately. Glad i found this video.

[christinevuha]

Hi Dr. Berry,
Can you make a "Whats in my fridge" video? Or a grocery haul video? I'm new with the keto lifestyle and wanted ideas for a grocery list! Thank you! And I love all you videos! They are all super informative!

[susansmith]

The timing of this video is perfect. Thanks
Dr. Berry! I'm off to my doctor today because of heart palpitations - B.P. and heart rate are fine - that I can't seem to shake (many months now in spite of keto/IF) as well as muscle cramps. I think I'm on to something with this video. Thank you!
