No, you don't need one if you eat sensibly on HE Diet. Bananas really don't have that much potassium anyway and they are kind of empty cals in a lot of ways. It's much better to focus on more nutrient-dense foods like blueberries instead.
If you MUST do something to up potassium, many of us use coconut water which is a lot of potassium for not a lot of cals.
I seriously doubt potassium sways blue anyway. The difference on the French and InGender Diets (the potassium ones) between boy (4000-5000) and girl (up to 3500) is 500 mg potassium. That is the amount in a bowl of strawberries. Does it make any sense that a bowl of strawberries could make the difference between having a boy and having a girl???
