Is potassium actually bad?

[WBrito]

I recently saw a video of a guy explaining how potassium is bad in the long term and can cause bloating as your body will learn to require more potassium to reach it's needs to reduce water retention. Is this true?
I started having more potassium about a couple weeks ago (4000mg+) and saw some improvement however if this is the case I'd definitely reduce it.

I'd prefer answers from people who've been sodium flushing for quite some time now so you could speak from experience, thanks

yeah obviously it's bad if you spam potassium

 

[asdvek]

Yes

Human bodies are not designed for taking synthetic proteins. We are supposed to get it from foods

right, but could you give an estimate on how much potassium I should have on the days where I do have it, thanks

No biological basis for your body needing more electrolytes over time.

Talking about an electrolyte like it's a roid

I highly doubt that, the "long term" is probably years ahead and hopefully you ascend and fix your diet by that time so you just gotta take less potassium. But ive been taking 4:1 as my potassium to sodium ratio and the results are still present and ive been doing it for a while. Im not sure what that guy is basing his information off of but hes probably just coping with his own bloat that he wasnt able to reduce after potassium.

As long as you drink 5L+ of water daily and have a clean, single ingredient food diet you will see results, potassium works only in conjunction with these factors and taking potassium alone without consuming enough clean food and water wont get you anywhere in your debloating
