I seem to blow through my sodium goals daily, but still losing weight at a decent rate. How concerned are you all with sodium?

    Since Sodium makes you retain water I watch my sodium intake

    I have an extreme and unhealthy fear of retaining water so I fear too much sodium. Unless you're going completely insane with the sodium, have a problem with water retention, or issues with high blood pressure though, a bit of extra sodium shouldn't be a huge deal though I don't believe.

    Sodium will increase your appetite substantially. When you reduce your sodium intake you will not retain water and will lose around 6 pounds. Just make sure you drink lots of water.
