Do you want to participate in our Salt Challenge?
They say salt is bad for us, and yet if you watch any of the food channels or read any recipe they are full of salt. A handful here and pinch there. It is amazing how much we really get. For me personally, salt makes me tired, it makes my vision blurry and my eyelids swell. How about you. Join us on this challenge and give up a big portion of your daily salt for just one week and see what it does for you. If nothing, then hey, you are good to go, but if the change is dramatic, you might want to rethink the next time you throw a fistful of salt into your favorite meal.
The first week of April I will show the results of this survey! Bon Appetit
You don't have to be obese for this survey!
- Figure out how much sodium you ingest a day. Don't guess, use www.Fitday.com and figure it out. Do this for a couple of days to have a good idea of the true number.
- Decide the percentage of sodium you will cut out of your diet each day for one week.
- Cut that amount out of your diet for one week.
- Come back here and fill out the questionnaire.
