With the water pills and the fact I sweat a lot of water out every single day that it does not rain all day I don't worry about the 20mg of Potassium I take every day as prescribed to offset the water pill I take to keep water off my lungs and heart. I get regular blood work to watch what is going on. The last time I was at the cardiologist he as me how I was losing weight. I told him to break or throw out all of his 9&10 dinner plates and buy some 8" and never go back for seconds. He agreed and said it was a good idea. With the right foods and portion control I lose weight.
