I made my diary public. You guys can probably see why I eat things like cheese and canned mushrooms to increase my sodium intake.

@diannethegeek Thanks!

How do I make my diary public?

Congrats, bro! Amazing work! I've been dieting since last May and I'm 40lbs down. Obviously, not going as fast as you did. I started with 252 and now I weigh around 211. My goal is to be around 160. Our initial and goal weights seem to be very similar. I am curious, how tall are you? I'm 5'8". Also, did you plateau at any…

No, but the processing will affect the tomato :)

@cwolfman13 @janejellyroll @estherdragonbat @singingflutelady @Jruzer I realize that. It seems it's pretty difficult to completely avoid processed foods. I'm not chemist or dietitian, but it seems that the salt in sodium pills will not be as affected by processing, as whatever they put in cans of tomatoes. Just a hunch.…

I understand that there would have to be compromises made. That's why I'm trying to figure out what the optimal solution is. I am considering sodium pills. It's pretty easy to just take a pill. I can save my calories for food that will keep me full. And I wouldn't have to drink the disgusting gatoraid while working out.

Possibly. I'm looking for the optimal solution. I want to consume the correct amount of sodium daily while avoiding processed food. Can't I have the best of both worlds? :)

Roberta H. Anding is a professor at the Baylor College of Medicine and a registered dietitian. She says that the less processed something is, the better it is for health.

I've heard a nutritionist say that the less processed something is, that healthier it is for you.

I'm trying to avoid processed foods like the plague. Wouldn't it be better to just take a sodium table like @RunnerGrl1982 suggested? Also, wouldn't it be more convenient to take when I'm working out? That way I don't have to drink gatoraid (yuck).

For starters, Salt = Sodium + Chloride In fact, salt is MOSTLY chloride. Sodium is a nutrient that is found in many foods, salt being only one among them. My question was whether salt was a good source of sodium, or whether it's better to get it from other foods such as vegetables.

If the food is verified on myfitnespal, then I can assume that the amount of salt it lists is accurate, right?
