This year I am trying to really watch how much sodium I am eating.

How many others are concerned with too much sodium in their diets ?

I found this on the internet relating to sodium and dieting. Not only is too much sodium a major cause for High blood pressure, but it is also can cause kidney stones and retain water in your body.

Individuals trying to lose weight must be mindful of their sodium intake and focusing on eating a diet low in sodium. However, be aware that initial weight loss, particularly on fad diets, is often attributable to water weight reduction. When an individual reduces or limits consumption of food in order to lose weight, dietary consumption of sodium is also reduced. This decrease in sodium will allow the kidneys to work properly and finally rid the body of excess sodium along with the water weight.
