Healthy low potassium foods

Question
I had a kidney transplant close to 4 years ago and one of the immunosuppressents I take causes high potassium levels.  I was given a handout on low potassium foods, but the problem is how do I lose weight when most healthy foods are high in potassium?  thank you

Answer
Jazz,

It doesn't look this way to me. For example, below, is a list of low potassium AND healthy foods. You might also refer to the USDA table of potassium content in common foods:
