Eating less salt

[mountaingal]

my newspaper did a series on the effects of high sodium in modern diets. one big ting is apparently the increase in hypertension among young people.

so mi ketch mi fraid and start cut right back on my salt usage. to my surprise, it look like mi lose lickle weight, maybe cause mi not retaining as much water.

next - eating less fruit.

high glycemic index. need to get my metabolism back on track. aka, reducing my sugar count. mi reach a significant birthday the end of the year and i'm determined to have a good report back from my physical.

am thinking i may ease my way off fruit by eating &quot;sweet veggies&quot; like peppers, and more berries, which i hear are lower on the glycemic index.

Re: Eating less salt


but fruit doesnt spike ur sugar like processed foods though

for guacamole, I just add black crushed pepper, lime juice and diced tomatoes. I am not a salt eater in general, so I fine this is good enough for me.

alright but I would think that is a good addiction and not a bad one! Most ppl dont eat enough fruits in a day and here u are o'ding on the stuff

Re: Eating less salt

I don't add salt to the guacamole ... I just add a bit of pepper/spices ... I didn't even realize the salt missing.

But on that salt note ...I have reduced the amount of salt I use and I don't have the water retention issue anymore and I have lost weight maybe you are onto something here. I'm not giving up the peppers as that vitamin C is helping my iron absorption.

but I think that is a very good thing. You get nuff fibre and nutrients from eating that much unprocessed foods unlike most peeps that wont touch a peice of fruit.

but u live in the bread basket of Canada, so u have no excuse

Re: Eating less salt

nylah, fruit is my version of comfort food. lawks. mi have weight round di abdomen and i hear that its a insulin-sugar related metabolic problem. so me a try fix ie.

twiny, mi never mek the connection with salt and weight loss right away. then i remembered that a raw food diet book i had said one of the first effects of that diet was micturition (sp?), which was ur body releasing water, and that diet used no salt.
