Whoops - salt

[lshafik]

I added a bit of salt to my omelettes the last 2 days - am I not suppose to have that?

nope sorry, no salt, it can lead the body retain water

...temporarily. If you stop adding salt from now on, any water retained should go over the next couple of days.

I have to add salt as I suffer from very severe cramp if I dont. I suppose that answers my question of why I havent lost as much as I hoped

Possibly. Although if you were to continue adding the same amount of salt each day, the effects would even out over time because your body would be used to having the salt and would only retain the same amount of water.

i won't do it again then - it wasn't a lot and it wasn't table salt...just will leave it

Thanks guys!

Thanks Lily,

Yes, just put my biology head on and of course you a right. Just as well as I didnt take any extra salt yesterday and was up all night with leg cramps.
On the positive side, I feel so energised over the past few days! I havent felt this well in years.
