Hey Collette! Right, don't want to be controversial but....yes Marmite is too salty and may cause water retention but...what do people think about having some and just ensuring you drink a ton of extra water to compensate? The thing with water retention is that it will look bad on the scales, which can be demoralising, but it's not actually fat and will go once you drink enough water.
I guess my point is that if you love Marmite and it would make you happy, it's not a diet breaker as such, but you would need to be aware that it could cause water retention which could affect the scales for a day or two. I personally would (and have) taken that risk and enjoyed it, drank extra water and not worried if there was a slight scales blip as a result. (Although actually, I don't think there was).
Does that help or hinder?!!? Jx

Joodle, you have read my mind! Water retention in and of itself is not weight gain - it is not fat that is deposited in your body. So actually, we might say that you see a false loss if you shed your body of extra water. And again, it really does not all come down to the scales! You ladies who are now fitting into clothes you couldn't wear before know this! While honestly there is a huge difference between 250lbs and 150lbs, I think there comes a time when it's more how you look than the number on the scales. So I agree, if you have a wee bit on some dukan bread, you should not think of it as any sort of sin

Charly, I love asparagus but I'm one of those peeps who suffer the worst post-asparagus smelly wee syndrome (sorry, TMI)!! But I could eat it every day, especially in this one recipe with parma ham and gruyere cheese and buttery bread crumbs...but I digress
