Craving Salt like crazy (like I want to shake salt in my mouth)-- 4 weeks in, eating recommended sodium or more each day --guess I like salt. Anyone else experience this?

    are you using other seasonings?

    Other seasonings may help. It changes things up to something you may like that you didn't realize before. Plus, variety is the spice of life!

    But if you're craving salt or salty foods, it probably means you have a deficiency in chlorine and/or silicon and other minerals. Try adding more leafy greens into your diet as well as nuts and seeds (almonds, cashews, sesame seeds, etc.)

    Thanks-- Yes its a craving, not that my food is bland. I'll try more nuts and leafy greens. Thanks for the suggestions
