Before After

Sodium intake

Ok, I did a little research about how much we need sodium for a day, 1000-3000mg/day is essential for every body, and I think it really depends on your age and activity, if you do excersice everyday you need more to compensate for sodium loss.but another thing is when you eat lots of sodium it prevents the body to repel water and it causes that your weight shows more . actually it is in addition to other harms it has like increasing blood pressure and ... .

This is what happened for me last week, thank's to bubble butt to pointed out fro me, last week I was eating all the week

low fat ham and tuna and other canned stuff I was noticing that I am bloating and when I weigh myself I saw gaining weight.

So be aware of your intake soduim during the day, and try to cut down salt on your food as much as you can. Today I didn't add salt to my baked potato and I am eating it with  low fat souer cream which is  more delicious by the way.

dang that sodium!!

I love it so! But its so not good for us when we want to lose weight!

Absolutely True

I've spent so much of my life watching fat, calories and carbs and only recently did a friend point out how much sodium there is in some foods.   Turkey -- normally a healthy food is -  loaded with sodium when it's processed into lunch meat. 

Now I try to buy lower sodium versions of products when available.  I replaced my table salt with salt substitute, only buy low salt bacon or turkey bacon, I just bought some low sodium V8 vegetable juice (*gag*) ... LOL but I'll get used to it.

PS:  Of course you can add me to your Friends list!  I'd be HONORED! 

My pleasure

I have to watch sodium.  I bloat like a balloon even on a small amount (hereditary).

Use spices instead of salt!

Happy Wednesday!
