When will my body adjust to no added salt?

Maybe your body is craving salt because you need it. Not everyone needs to be on a super low sodium diet. I am on a high sodium diet as recommended by my doctor. Besides, salt makes food taste good! Unless you have a medical reason to be on a low sodium diet, I don't see why you can't use a little salt here and there.

This depends upon which problems you are having with sodium. Is it the taste of the foods or is it actual physical problems?

I am adjusting to a lower sodium diet. My diary is open, you can read it. But, by no means am I eliminating sodium. I am just trying to keep it in a moderate range.

Sodium keeps your heart beating, among other things.

Moderation.

I am trying out the Bragg Liquid Aminos, which is simply non-fermented soy. I only use a tiny spritz on some foods that are hard to consume without sodium. I had used it sprized on a plate when I could not eat hard boiled eggs without salt. It helped. I just dipped a tiny part of the egg into it, gradually using less and less as the days went on.

Now I am able to eat the eggs plain and enjoy them.

Food has a different character without salt. Here is something interesting. I like tea. I used to drink it. When I tried to drink it without sugar, it tasted like nothing. With sugar, it was tea. It wasn't the tea that I liked, but the sugar water with the tea seasoning.

Salt is like that, too. Now I ask myself, is it the food that tastes good or is it the salt?

It usually takes a couple months for people to adjust to a lower sodium diet. I don't know what you're aiming for, but under 1500-2300mg/day is recommended.

I've learned to reduce the amounts of salt in my diet. Start by stopping adding it at the table and then start reading labels for sodium content. Most of our food contains salt already, even veggies and fruits! It isn't so bad once you get used to it. You'll really be able to taste your food instead of the salt. Now the first thing I taste when I eat anything processed is salt! I could never tell before.

The current recommendation for sodium is not more than 1500mg per day. You can go way over by eating processed foods alone without salting your food. Chances are if you do not have any "health problems" due to eating too much salt in your diet you eventually will. Why wait until trouble comes knocking? It is much easier and cheaper to prevent disease or poor health through a healthy diet than it is to treat it with prescription drugs which often bring on even more problems. Here are two links below to help give you reason to continue to cut back. It just takes a few weeks to get used to it. You are almost there!
