Sodium must be kept constant as fluctuations in sodium intake will cause water weight gain – not fat gain. We have found that keeping sodium constant is the best approach to our dieting philosophies. Either keep it high or keep it low. Problems arise with changes in sodium consumption. We recommend that if you don’t consume much then don’t add any. Conversely, if you like higher sodium foods we suggest that you add table salt, sea salt or Himalayan pink salt. If a higher sodium intake is preferred we suggest that water intake be higher.
