it is hard to satisfy your salt cravings with fruit or veggies. I have a friend that has me sucking on a menthol cough drop or a breath strip to change my taste buds around when my salt craving occurs. It takes discipline to put the methol flavor in your mouth but it does work. I have a big problem with salt, I will want it in a big way but will make myself have veggies, fat free pudding, fudge pop, piece of fruit instead of the chips I really want. So I will eat the good treat and with in 15 min. am back looking for the salt fix. The problem with the salt snack is that once I start I can not stop. Over the weekend I bought a large bag of pretzel sticks and divided them up in little baggies to the ww portion size. Finally I had to throw what I had not eaten away, because in one hour I ate four baggies!!!!! I think it will be hard if you are craving salt to substitue veggies, fruit, or cerel. If you can limit your self to the portion control (which I can't) try buying something like the 100 calorie wheat thin bags, or dividing up a larger bag into pre made portions and see if that does it for you.
I went to a diet doctor once and he said salt products are a diet killer so if you could someone change your taste buds around that would be best. Good luck I know this is one of my biggest problems
