Natrushka,

thanks for the clarification. To answer your question, I have in the past week or so been snacking on salty foods (prosciutto, genoa salami), forgetting the nefarious effects of salt and thinking that I was doing something healthy by increasing my protein intake. It boggles the mind how much I still have to learn!!!

Interestingly, I seem to lose most after my period meaning I lose whatever water I have been retaining plus somehow extra weight. I guess this is how my metabolism works.

I did not know about potassium helping and I have some Cal/K which I am going to take. Thanks for this useful information.

I have lost some weight very suddenly - 3 lb - but I think I still gained
2 lb as I am down to 155 instead of 152. Oh well, that is how one learns!!!
