More importantly your body becomes more susceptible to kidney stones and high blood pressure. </p> http://eatlowsodium.com/osc/forum/topic/can-someone-lose-weight-by-following-a-low-sodium-diet#post-15 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 01:33:28 +0000 Mr. Food 15@http://eatlowsodium.com/osc/forum/ <p>Please note that most weight loss foods have high amounts of sodium. You cannot get slim by eating foods in high sodium even if they are low in fat!</p> <p>Our sodium intake comes mostly from salt as well as MSG which is high in baking powder and food and drink additives.</p> <p>To lose weight you need to eat natural foods. You need to cook fresh meat and drink plain water and fruit juices, instead of eating processed foods high in salt. </p> http://eatlowsodium.com/osc/forum/topic/can-someone-lose-weight-by-following-a-low-sodium-diet#post-14 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 01:17:32 +0000 low sodium diet 14@http://eatlowsodium.com/osc/forum/ <p>The main purpose of following a low sodium diet is not loosing weight, however it is well known that retaining less sodium in body definitely helps someone also retain less water. Therefore, people who cut on their salt intake tend to drink less water, hence keeping less weight. </p> <p>The body tries to keep sodium in blood in a certain range. If you consume more sodium than your body needs, you will get it out of system through sweating, restroom visits, etc. The body will need more water (you will feel thirsty more often) to dilute the sodium content.</p> <p>Considering that majority of the human body's weight is water, consuming less sodium is significant to being light! </p> http://eatlowsodium.com/osc/forum/topic/kidney-stones-occur-more-often-with-higher-sodium-intake#post-3 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 23:50:21 +0000 DietGuru 3@http://eatlowsodium.com/osc/forum/ <p>This is from Miami Children Hospital's magazine in Volume 9, No:2</p> <p>"The incidence of kidney stones in children has been increasing steadily in America over the last decade..."</p> <p>The first reason mentioned in the article is Salt! The article reads:</p> <p>"Excess salt is contained in many foods that children love and eat now more of than ever before, such as french fries, cheeseburgers, and potato chips. In addition, with today's prepackaged, quick-meal mentality, parents may not be aware that many convenient foods such as lunch meats, packaged meals, canned soups, and sports drinks, contain high levels of hidden salts." </p>
