About RawPalaeoGuy
Expertise
I can answer most questions on Raw Animal Food Diets such as the Primal Diet, an organic, raw-meat-based diet and a number of similiar all-raw or partially raw Paleolithic diets, such as the Instincto, Weston-Price, Neanderthin, Paleo and Stefansson Diets. Can also offer advice on how to resist social pressure to eat cooked foods etc. For further info on Raw-Animal-Food diets, feel free to browse through this website:- http://www.rawpaleodiet.com/

Experience
I have been 8 years on a 99%+ raw version of the Palaeolithic Diet and experienced numerous health benefits as a result, being fully recovered from my previous symptoms from my cooked-food days. My own individualised raw, paleolithic diet routine is mostly based on Aajonus Vonderplanitz's Primal Diet(ie 99% raw, usage of "high-meat",no processed supplements, using primarily naturally-reared, organic or wild sources of raw foods) but, for personal reasons, I have also been, to some extent, influenced by ideas from:- Instincto(ie:- taste/instinct,no raw dairy/no raw veggie juice), Weston-Price(eg: preferring grassfed meat to grainfed meat, incorporating a wide variety of raw organ-meats into my diet along with the usual muscle-meats, and Vilhjalmur Stefansson(high-fat diet, pretty high proportion of (raw) animal food), but also eating some raw carbohydrates such as raw organic/wild fruit/veg/honeycomb etc.). I'm also a firm believer in the feast-and-famine idea (ie Intermittent Fasting) as regards boosting one's energy levels, and giving my body a rest from constant digestion.

Special Diets - low potassuim

Question
WHAT KIND OF MEATS ARE LOW IN POTASSIUM
thank you Tom

Answer
As far as I'm aware, meats aren't generally low in potassium. People told to go on low-potassium diets are, after all, usually told to avoid meats, as a result. Mind you, potassium isn't usually an issue, if one avoids the use of processed supplements -  excess sodium/calcium is, on the other hand, a much bigger issue as modern diets include ever higher amounts of sodium(through salt used in most processed foods etc.) and increasingly lower levels of potassium.

On the other hand, a few websites do seem to  recommend meats on a low-potassium-diet:-

Other than that, pork appears to have  the highest potassium levels as regards meats, with chicken having  the lowest, according to some sources.

At any rate, potassium is more prevalent in fruits, vegetables and dairy products, overall.

HTH,

RPG
