Quoted message said:don't keep my fridge supplied with fresh fruits and vegetables. It's difficult for me to stand and
cook or to have to drive to the store more than one a week (if I even manage once a week). High
carb meals are the easiest to make and easiest to store. I understand I have to adjust this. What
foods can I buy that are high in protein and can be stored for a long time, without having to be
cooked? Stuff like peanuts, peanut butter..

Hard cheeses, eggs, canned tuna and salmon, sardines. Cheese can be frozen if you have a freezer,
eggs last a fair while in the fridge, the fish can come in cans. Bacon lasts a while but the salt
may interfere with potassium levels.

Quoted message said:but I need to replace the potassium somehow.
A lot of our potassium comes from fruit, veges and animal proteins. Too much fruit is out (but try
the berries to see the effect they have on you - eat them with some fat like cheese or cream for
example). There are a wide variety of veges (apart from the starchy ones which you will need to
watch) that supply potassium - asparagus, cauliflower, green beans, artichokes, tomatoes, spinach.
Lightly steam the veges to preserve as many nutrients as possible and drink the steamed or boiled
water. You may be able to tolerate the beans like soy, chickpeas, lentils etc, maybe a few cooked
with some veges as a soup. Meat, poultry and fish have some potassium. Most diabetics who low carb
don't seem to have a potassium problem.
