I'm with you on that one. More than about 1 gram of sodium a day, and I can easily gain 7 lbs, all in the belly. Then it's misery for a few days. It can take about a year for your body to get over the stress of multiple surgeries.

It's definitely much healthier way to eat....limited sugar and salt. Hard to do because everything that comes in a box or can will have too much sugar, too much salt, or both. Sugar is used as a preservative too. Add to that, anything that's fat free usually ups the sugar content.
