I was so glad to read this thread because my husband was lc ing and gained 31/2 lbs. He got discouraged and quit. I did not have any explanation for him as to why this happened (cause I am just a novce and am not gaining, but rather losing at a real real slow but steady pace)

Now at least I can explain it to him...though I am not sure that he will resume lc ing it is good to know the "why" (I think there was a lot of salt in things like ham and bacon which are foods that he previously was not eating)

thanks again!
