Salt cravings: Sodium and weight loss
I've been going through some major salt cravings this week and while this isn't uncommon for me I've never tracked my weight while doing it before. I'm still losing a little weight though and I know that sodium can lead to water retention and water weight gain. I just want to make sure that this is a temporary thing right? When I get off the salt kick I'll lose the water weight right? I mean I'm being careful not to cure the craves with things like chips but I've been salting all my vegetables, popcorn, celery, boiled eggs you name it! And I'm not concerned with my blood pressure as low BP runs in the family and the last time I was sick I finally managed to get up into the middle normal range. Edit: I suspect this might have something to do with the huge amounts of water I've started drinking right before this started. :P
