HELLO ALL,
JUST WONDERING IF ITS OKAY TO EAT CANNED FOODS LIKE TUNA OR HAM? I'VE BEEN READING SOME POSTS HERE CLAIMING THAT FOODS THAT CONTAIN A LOT OF SALT CAUSES WATER GAIN.
HAVE YOU GUYS EXPERIENCE STALL OR WATER GAIN WHILE EATING CANNED FOODS ?
I WANNA ADD CANNED TUNA ON MY DIET BUT I WANNA MAKE SURE THAT IT WILL NOT JEOPARDIZE MY DIET.
IF YOU HAVE ANY INFO, PLEASE REPLY.

THANKS A MILLION

I don't see a problem with canned foods as long as they don't comprise the majority of what you're eating. A can of tuna for lunch never hurt me or stalled my progress. Drinking plenty of water will also help curb the bloat effects of salty foods. Everyone is different, so trial and error is the key to finding what works best for you.

Hi,

It's fine to eat canned foods, and unless you have a health problem where you really need to watch your sodium because of blood pressure, heart or something like that then the water weight shouldn't be a problem, it WILL come out especiallyi f you drink lots of plain water. It's depressing to see a pound or two of water gain show on the scale, but it happens to most people from time to time. I really don't think that the tuna or ham has much salt compared to a lot of other things, some of them not even canned. You should probably be more worried about the sodium in pork rinds or cheese (if you needed to be worried about it at all). It won't "jeopordize" your diet because any water weight is temporary and not a real gain at all.

Because of all the studies about fish and mercury, I think it's best to limit it. On the other hand it's a great source of protein and extra convenient for travelling. I haven't noticed any fluid retention because of the salt. Since you're not eating all of that processed crap now, I think you're getting a lot less sodium anyway.

thanks for all the infos...
