If you consider that most folks on psmf are eating primarily whole foods, it makes sense that Lyle says to sup with more sodium. Not much sodium unless your eating lots of processed foods. So it makes sense that you'd add more sodium in this case. You're getting a larger amount of potassium in the whole foods.
That 2/1 ratio is what I use to make sure I'm not retaining boat loads of water. I never stated it as coming from Lyle.
