Not much to report today. Ate cottage cheese, grapes, peaches, 2 bars and home-made chicken soup. Thanks to my wife, we didn’t go out for dinner - I’m such a sucker for going out Friday nights. No exercise, but I’ll make that up tomorrow.
You know, now that I think about it, it’s kind of a weird thing to think - that I’ll make up exercise. I measure my daily caloric balance, but think in terms of catching up tomorrow?

You can easily lose weight by reducing your salt/sodium intake. This results in your body shedding (i.e. excreting in the urine) excess water retained in your body. - It costs nothing to try it. - Go on! - Have a go! - It will also lower your blood pressure and lower your risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, etc.
Thanks for the tip. I personally don’t use salt on anything - I’m apparently in a minority that doesn’t really like the taste of salt. I have heard from many people that minimizing salt intake is important to fitness in general (although some level of salt intake is important).
That goes for many vitamins we take supplements for as well - it’s better to get the right amount rather than overloading. I’ve been doing a lot of reading on the supplement industry lately, and am as frightened by what I read on that topic as what I read on our food industry. I’m definitely in the camp now of getting vitamins and nutrients out of my food instead of a bottle.
And to throw a little bit of confusion in about salt, there are times when it is good for you. If you are just losing weight through diet change or caloric reduction, yes dropping the majority of salt is fine. If on the other hand you are increasing your exercise, you need to replace what is lost through sweat and exertion. Not being a doctor, I can’t say how much you need but I do know for proper body mechanics you need some salt. Using Gatoraid and other sports drinks to replace though are a whole different set of issues.
