    The thing I noticed the most and was very rewarding from cutting down on sodium was the scale didn't fluctuate. I have not gone up on the scale since I started doing lower sodium! It's nice to see a true number on the scale and not water weight!

    except for things like bread, crackers and things like spaghetti sauce, etc.

    Next time you go to the grocery store compare different brands for these foods and choose the option with lower sodium. I buy Tomato based products with no salt added. The only way to really lower you sodium is to eat less foods that are high in sodium.
    On days that your sodium is higher than you would like, drink more water. I try to have twice as much potassium than sodium. I read that you need a balance of the two. Since I've started this I've noticed I retain less water and I eat more fruits and veggies which is awesome.
