sodium

How long does it take for the sodium swelling to kick in after you have eaten a sodium packed meal? I went over sodium Friday-Sunday and I am now back on track. I didnt start feeling it in my legs until Monday and now I feel it even more. So how long does it take to kick in and how long before it is GONE? I am up about 3 pounds and I know it is water weight because I have been under calories just over sodium.

I usually notice that same day.... or the next day at the latest. Make sure to drink EXTRA water to help flush it out of your system quicker. If I've had too much sodium.... say... a slice of pepperoni pizza.... I always drink lots of water and have a cup of Green Tea at night and in the AM to help rid the water quicker.

If you went over in sodium the whole weekend.... you're probably feeling the overall effects yesterday/today.

I usually feel it (or see it on the scale) the next day, then it takes me 2-3 days to go back to normal. I ate dinner out twice this weekend (Sodium City!) and am still up a pound in "fake weight" as of today. I am guessing by tomorrow I'll be back to normal.
