Hello I just bought the recipe book and the recipes sound pretty good. however I have a few concerns. I am spanish and all my life I have gotten used to eating seasoned food. I always use salt to prepare my food and I think the food without salt must taste very bland, however I do not overuse salt just enough for it to taste good. I was wondering how you are dealing with this issue. do you cook the recipes as they are in the book? with no salt I mean? and if you do use the salt still, is the program still working for you?
Take care everyone!

p.s this program sound very expensive $$$!

I would begin tapering off the salt little by little and enjoy the taste of your food. As for as expense, I have had to ease my way into the supplements at by organic food only as I can afford. Since I'm not buying unhealthy stuff anymore, and eat out less often, it helps with some of the expense.

Good Luck!

Lots of salt = water retention. The key to this though is enjoying what you eat again. That is what I love about this way of eating. I was finally allowed to eat when I was hungry.

I would worry about the carbs first. Then drink extra water to try to offset all the sodium.

If you still have problems losing, try to cut down. See how your body reacts.

I go ahead and add a small amount of salt to some of the recipes. For example, I made the quiche the other night and added salt to that. However, you don't need the salt in the salad dressings or some of the other recipes. Maybe try adding salt at the table instead of as you cook it. Then you'll only add what you need to get the taste you want, and can gradually decrease the amount you use.
