I am so with you on this, I haven't missed sweets at all but potatoe chips are a completely dif. story, I crave them sometimes. And I aslo think I am retaining alot of fluid due to salt. I've seen alot of people suggest NuSalt (I think that's what it's called) but I haven't gotten any yet. So far I have settled for salami with cheese but I know this has to be HIGH in sodium, I tried drinking chicken bullion (sp) too but it has to be way up there. So, I would love to hear any suggestions........
