Just been talking to a Cambridge lady to buy some water flavoring she was lovely even said Exante sounds fab but and it's a big but when I explained about adding salt etc to the soups she told me adding salt to anything is very very bad as salt makes you retain water and can slow losses!!!

I don't add salt. Just pepper and chilli powder... PHEW!

Shes right about that but Im not sure how much salt it would be that affects it. I cant imagine a little sprinkling once a day would but it might be worth trying to find out.

Damn!! I add LOADS of salt to the soups.

I'm sure I saw somwhere that the RDA was one teaspoon of salt per day. So depends on how much sodium is already in the packs...

I've just had a look and found this:

Adults should eat no more than 6g of salt a day: that's around one full teaspoon.

I got it from here Salt: the facts - Live Well - NHS Choices

I know for sure that when you are trying to cut weight for a show or a fight, trainers ALWAYS tell their clients to cut out salt! It really does make you retain water.

Sorry girls I just thought you should know! I add salt to mine too! I will check the packs later n see how much is in them!
