Just back....on sodium detox.

I didn't notice anything salty when we were there for our 10 day trip. Actually, most things tasted darn good.

If you are gaining 10 pounds from water retention in 10 days, I would speak to your doctor because maybe your body cannot get rid of fluids properly. Ten pounds definitely seems excessive.

This is normal for a lot of people when they eat a lot and has a lot of sodium in it. That's why the average person on a cruise gains a pound a day and I was eating a lot just like on a cruise. If you were home and eat a lot you wouldn't gain as much because you are not getting all the sodium.

Wow, never heard of that much weight gain from salt. I always thought people gained a lot on cruises because it's non stop eating. At least it goes away when you return home.

They call salt one of the silent killer.
I was stricken with menieres diease 2 years ago. No cure only drugs to help with symptoms, salt is one of the contributing factors which affect my hearing and tinnitus (ringing in the ear). The more salt I take in, the less I can hear and the louder the ringing. I try to limit to 1500-2000mg a day. I was amazed how much salt is in everyday common foods. Even "healthly" salads are packed with sodium due to the dressing.
On our trips to WDW, we eat table service, I stick with things which are generally not premade if possible. I let the server know and most of the time there is always something and it's managable. Eating on the Disney cruise we took to Alaska was very diffucult.
