Hi everyone,
Question about salt. Should I be taking in extra salt on a daily basis, or only when on an extended fast?
A couple weeks ago I started having 1-2 tsp of salt every day, plus whatever salt was on my food during eating days to try and help some fatigue I was feeling (which it did help), but I noticed that come weigh-in days, the scale didn’t move. It only moves after I check it around the 60ish hour of an extended fast, and after drinking some mag citrate the night before, and this has been the case for 2 consecutive weeks.
Could the extra salt be causing water retention? If so, should I only be taking in the extra salt on fasting days and deal with the salt intake I get from my food on eating days??
