I stopped putting salt on my food... thinking I was doing good. I didn't bother to watch the sodium on my food diary... well I put it on there today and then we back and looked at the last weeks worth of food.... WOW, I take in ALOT of sodium!! I was wondering why I've been retaining water and swelling so bad... well now I know!

    I came to this same realization about a week ago. There is sodium in EVERYTHING!!! Especially processed foods and any dining out. I'm trying to watch mine now too, not easy but sticking to it.

    I'm interested in a group. today I really focused on sodium and kept mine to only 575 mg, That's a lot different from the 3500 I had the day I started paying attention.
