I have just read the lecture named debloat bible from the on point fresh website (i dont know wheter you know this web) and in this book advice potassium-sodium ratio 4:1 On this forum anyone give me advice about 2:1. But there are existed other proportion as 3:2 or even 2:3 (more sodium than potassium by Oscar Patel).
If it's about sodium flushing, I heard that then organism increases the aldosteron and cortisol effects and in result face is more puffy and skin is worse from cortisol level. Which is science based proportion potassium to sodium and what think looksmaxxers about this.

The potassium-to-sodium ratio doesn't matter as much as you think. And please stop listening to Oscar he has no idea what he's talking about.

Exactly. If you reduce your sodium intake, your body will simply compensate by increasing aldosterone production.
That's why I said this bullshit about "sodium flushing" or obsessing over the potassium-to-sodium ratio won't do shit.
Just take Lasix when needed. And to combat diuretic adaptation (the kidney's compensatory mechanism that reduces the effectiveness of diuretics over time), use a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, preferably a non-steroidal one like finerenone (though eplerenone works fine as well).
Add in some telmisartan since it also has aldosterone-blocking properties (it prevents its production in the first place), and then maybe a bit of HCTZ on top.
