No salt...lost an inch off waist in a week

Did I mention it's no joke??? HAHHAHA

try Real Salt, it's got most of the trace minerals you need, you'll feel energized, not hungry all the time. It's not iodized so you'll have to supplement with iodine.

Unrelated, but I remember an article on natural news about negative calorie foods, check that out.

Oh and I ate a lot of potassium...bananas and whatnot

How the f do you do no salt? I try and eat protein and veggies as a rule, so I grill meat. That means salt. Garlic salt.

What do I sub?

I use brags liquid amonos on my veggies

Thanks. I'll try. Carrots helped a lot too I think.

I'm sharing because I have struggles with this for a while and been in denial about how I can eat anything- which it turns out I can't anymore. Like magic, it started coming off. It was all the food the whole time. Oh, and no more eating (anything) before bed too....

Easy after I started

StruggleD that is. I speak English

not trying to derail your thread, and I totally agree that people should get away from anything "bleached" especially salt. I'm sure you've heard that in ancient times that salt was worth it's weight in gold, there is a reason, it's vitally important. "Refined" salt is not the same as pure salt.

YES !!!!

I am a holistic Nutritionist and you NEED salt !!! Use real redmands salt. It will not be the same in your system as the other.

I guess I mean EXCESS salt. Cutting down to one salty/sweet meal a day? Use garlic powder? Still need salt though.I have had absolutely NO sugar in the past 3 days. Feel amazing. Easy to kick too.

Sorry it`s Redmonds Salt

BECAUSE .... salt has a minor ingredient that FEW people know about; Magnesium, that is deliquescent ... i.e. an absorber of WATER !

As most fat pouches are KNOW to be about 90 % WATER, GUESS where and WHY you lost weight ???

Eagle

Eat potassium and it negates the salt in a way...

YES...POTASSIUM is the answer

Any other tips for us fatties?

Seriously like to know what works for people. The salt thing was drastic in my case....all belly fat

So it wasn't "no salt", it was:

no salt
quit sugar
cardio
weights
potassium
bonanas and "whatnot"
carrots
no more eating (anything) before bed time

anything else?

My point is I could see and tell a difference with cutting out the salt/junk food.

You are smart though!!!!

Thanks for adding negativity to a completely neutral and hopefully helpful post!!! Stick a bonana up your bed time!!!

You will die if you keep restricting your salt. Your body needs alot more salt...but ONLY sea salt! Mny athletes...including high school have been dropping-dead because they don't have enough salt in their system to replace the salt the sweat-out. You can't just drink water...sooner or later you will wash-put your body and you will have a heart-attack, if not die altogther! Here watch this MD that has written several books. One is "Dead Doctors Don't Lie!" and another is "Atheletes Don't Live Long" Here's a link to get familiar. Salt isextrememly important to your health...even the sancienats know this!

Forgive me, it was meant it jest! Good luck with it all.

(had to wait for the site to work again to post)

All good. Me too. Thanks

Yes, it is. It's exactly the same except removing random trace elements.
Sodium chloride is sodium chloride.
Refining doesn't change the chemistry.

Dead doctors such as Adkins and Wallack do lie. They are shills for the alternative health industry, as deadly as the white coats.

We get all the sodium we need from vegetable sources. Salting foods to taste is too much. Sodium is directly related to HBP.

We do not get minerals from salt, so real salt is of no use. It does not even come from the himalayas.

Probably the cardio and weights more than anything else.

What if I just cut out salt and sugar but didn't exercise?

OFF topic but wow, You know what? I had a band when I was a youngster and we didn't have any more cassettes to tape and THAT DAY a cassette came in the mail...It was called "DEAD DOCTORS DON'T LIE". We taped over it and made a song with that same title. Until now, I haven't heard anyone say anything about it besides the people I know from those days.

I didn't say "no salt". Definitely done with junk food with too much salt.

The preservatives in those foods ARE salt...just like they used to make food "keep" in the old days. Too much is my point. Sorry if it was too vague.

I don't know? I have worked out most of my adult life and the cutting out salt showed results. Period. I have no reason to lie to you.

Good for you OP!!

I totally believe you - I find that if I don't eat sugar, I don't wake up nearly as puffy the next day, especially around the eyes

Also, after reading a thread here, I think it was, about 6 months ago, I stopped using regular salt - I had been having terrible bloating that grew worse toward the end of the day - like I was 5 months pregnant, even though I am slender at 125 lbs and 5' 6". I also was having high blood pressure issues (I have a kidney problem, so, have to watch it). So, I began to use only pink Himalayan salt, Celtic Grey salt, and other types of natural salt (not the processed sea-salt from the store, either, just as bad as table salts). It makes a HUGE difference, also tastes very nice, and I don't get the high blood pressure, or the bloating. Now if only prepared, packaged, or canned foods didn't have the bad salt in them. I highly recommend the natural salt to anyone with high BP or wanting to lose the weight. I find it online, or at health foods stores.

Sounds like a recipe for death to me.
