Kbart64 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 This is my 4th Whole30... I really have actually enjoyed them and try to stay 90% clean between (sorry.. I like bluecheese.. cant help myself) This one has been different. Normally I don't salt my foods.. I always leave it out of any recipes I make.. and I don't keep a shaker at the table... Just not interested in it UNTIL NOW!! The salt cravings are driving me insane. I bet I have put more salt on food in the last 21 days... than I have in the last 21 years. I haven't found anything on here covering this... does this seem normal? Folks have told me to drink more water... but I drink nearly a gallon a day... more if it is really hot. Any suggestions or insight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted September 6, 2016 Administrators Share Posted September 6, 2016 Your body needs sodium, it's one of the required electrolytes for humans to function. Salt to a taste that is pleasant to you and you'll be fine. Some times it'll be more and some times less. I personally like an amount of salt that makes food unpalatable for my husband.

Raven Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 @Kbart64 I get salt cravings too! Maybe it means that you're officially switched over to fat-adapted? Do you get any other cravings? Like for fat or sugar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbart64 Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 Raven... Sorry I never saw your question until today.. My cravings tend to lean more toward texture than taste normally... I crave chewy things... I used to eat dried meats to satisfy that urge... but I havent found a compliant one I like so I just gave it up completely!
