When clients cut carbs to reduce sugar, they often unintentionally cut out potassium—and that can backfire.
Why does potassium matter?
👉 It supports energy, muscle function, fluid balance, and healthy digestion.
👉 When you don’t get enough, constipation, fatigue, and cramps are common.
👉 Many potassium-rich foods (like bananas and potatoes) are higher in carbs… so if you’ve reduced those, you may be running low.
The RDA is 4700 mg/day—but most people are getting far less.
In this video, I cover:
✅ Why potassium is essential for women over 40
✅ Symptoms of deficiency (beyond just cramps)
✅ The best low-carb, high-potassium foods
✅ Easy ways to increase your intake without sugar or starch
If you’ve cut back on sugar but still feel tired or bloated, this might be why.
