I’m having leg and arm cramps, and my potassium level measured "low" at the doctor’s office, although they didn’t tell me how low…
I already know about "Lite Salt", but I’d need about 10 teaspoons of it.
Yes, my diet is terrible, and now I’m starting to pay for it!

I’m a nursing student and I just took a class in nutrition. There are lots of foods high in potassium. Start with bananas, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. Go to Nutritiondata.com and select "foods by nutrient" and you can identify the food groups and get lists of high potassium foods.
