    I needed this pickle conversation. I had a whole jar of spears the other day, to myself, and I'm up about 8lbs. I'm chugging the water as we speak.

    Well, I didn't think of the sodium part until I saw my count go way over after a wonderful dill pickle. Couldn't pass up the 0 calories. Glad this is a Tuesday. I'm going to up my water intake and not worry about it at all!!!

    This kind of obsession over a pound or two of water weight isn't really healthy. Unless you're planning on a modeling gig the very next day, just eat a pickle. So what if you retain some water?

    How about normal daily fluctuation? I'm guessing you would've gained the pound with or without the pickle.

    I have to agree

    YES! I just found this because I was trying to figure out why I gained a lb yesterday! My calories were on point and I exercised. I ate a pickle and had a bloody mary with a little pickle juice in it! I gained 1lb! I was so upset LOL... I guess I do need to watch my sodium intake now.

    Today there are zombie threads on pickles and on pickleball. Is this a joke?

    did you read any of the other replies or just the OP?
