Do sugar and salt hold your fat in your body?

Salt craving is keeping me from losing weight...help!?

• I love my raw fruits and veggies, ill even eat them cooked, i don't like to eat out much, i always get sick, so i avoid it pretty well, i hate soda, the carbon bubbles burn and the amount of sugar makes me nauseous. im not a big meat eater i eat meat maybe 2 -4 times a week. i like pasta and potato's, but i only eat them each 2-3 times a week each.the bread from the store smells nasty, so i don't eat that much either. i know i need to exercise more, however i walk to the school every afternoon (2 blocks uphill) , i am also a dog walker and pet sitter, so i walk a lot. i drink a lot of water and unsweat tea.i know i don't exorcise as much as i used to, i used to swim the river nearly everyday when it was warm, i don't live there anymore though. I do know my weakness...salt. I crave salt. chips, peanut butter, nuts...anything salty. i don't like it on my fruit and veggies though. My blood pressure hovers between 96/67 and 129/71. i know...quite a swing. but it rarely ever gets above 106/70. so i don't know if my body is trying to up it or what? the thing that is bothering me is , i believe this is the reason why I am having trouble losing weight. the water weight, the carbs that go along with the salt. i hate medications...what can i eat or do that can help my salt cravings??? i have never been overweight up until 8 yrs ago. i cant get the baby weight off and that is when i started craving salt. any suggestions?

• Answer:

  For your salt cravings, get the half-salt which contains 50 % less sodium and still tastes like salt. At least, you will have cut down 50% of your intake. Eventually, you wll get used to it and won't be able to take pure salt.
