Are pickles allowed on induction?
I've been on induction for one week now (loving it by the way!) and my sodium levels have really dropped. I have a problem retaining sodium, so ordinarily (before starting Atkins) I try to eat a lot of pickles or other salty foods. Drinking so much water and being in ketosis (which is a diuretic state), my sodium has just plummeted. I was wondering if it's okay to eat pickles, or should I just add extra salt to my food?
By the way, the pickle jar (Claussen) says that each 1/2 pickle slice has less than one gram of carbs. Also, there is no sugar in the ingredients, but there is vinegar.
Thanks for your help!!
