Potassium supplementation and weight loss: My n=1 experiment

Potassium supplementation and weight loss: My n=1 experiment
Potassium chloride (KCl) is a salt substitute often used by people who have high blood pressure. Some earlier investigations suggested that daily supplementation with KCl may lead to weight loss. I performed a study on myself to test this hypothesis. I lost a modest amount of weight (about 4.2 pounds or 1.9 kg) over a period of two months. My experiment is an example of citizen science, also called personal science, n=1 investigations, or "quantified self".
