Too much salt?

[Guest guest]

I was just sent a link to a book entitled " Eat Fat and Grow Slim " from 1958.

In one chapter, he states:

" Do not take much extra salt as this checks the burning of fat. "

I have gained upwards of 14 lbs over my first year on Bee's program. I was

on birth control for about 9-10 years. And I kept eating grains, some

sugars and too many nuts, so I blamed my weight gain on poor food choices.

After Thanksgiving, I started reining myself in tighter and tighter and I

have cut nuts out completely. I will confess to having eaten properly

prepared grains the past two Saturdays, however...

In light of that, I'm pleased to say I've lost 3.5 lbs in 2 weeks and 1.5 "

off my waist over the past 3 weeks.

(let it be said that I am within 10-15 lbs of my " ideal " weight)

I assumed it was due to cutting out nuts entirely and most of the grains.

But now reading the above quote [Do not take much extra salt as this checks

the burning of fat], I'm wondering if making sure I was getting the full 1.5

tsp Celtic sea salt up until a few weeks ago might also have been a cause

for not losing weight or actually gaining weight?

I mean, up until about 2.5 wks ago, I'd measure out my 1.5 tsp salt and do

whatever I had to do to get it in each day. 2.5 wks ago, I decided to bag

that and just add it in where needed (egg drink, broth, heating meat,

veggies). I'm sure I am not getting 1.5 tsp salt/day.

Looking for input...
