‘salt in the diet’
Is There Sugar in Your Salt?
I just read something in The Diet Solutions Program that kind of woke me up. It seemed incredible, so I ran to the cabinet to check it for myself.
Sure enough, my salt has sugar in it — it’s there, right on the label!
Now I try to keep salt out of our diets as much as I can. I don’t use salt when cooking, try not to use any at the table except when absolutely necessary (I’ve become fond of Mrs. Dash). But to learn that what salt I do take in also has sugar was a little difficult for me to bear.
Well, the book recommends using organic sea salt, and I was a wee bit on the skeptical side until I did go and read the ingredients on my table salt. And while I may not be 100% convinced that organic sea salt is OK for the body while your average grocery-store table salt is poison….let’s just say that I am a whole lot more open now to that argument.
At any rate, I went online to check out the recommended organic sea salt (Celtic Sea Salt) and there’s a store near me that carries it. While it’s not what I would call cheap (nothing organic is), given how long 8 ounces of salt lasts me, I don’t consider it too bad. And I need to pick up some things at the health food store anyway.
Since I’ve been stalled on my weight loss far too long, I’ve decided to try this Diet Solutions Program. I’ll be writing up a review, so you can see the pros and the cons. But for right now, it looks to be a great way to get my weight loss moving again. I’m tired of seeing the same number on my scale!
