The last 3 days I've made an effort to track my salt/sodium in MyPlan and to take salt, to get up to ~5 g/d.

After 2 years of low carbing, the last year on Atkins Induction/OWL phase 1, it's amazing how much BETTER I feel with that much salt!

You should hear my heart sing with joy that I can eat salty fatty foods now, without guilt! just keep the carbs at my CCLL and comprised of the foods I tolerate

Another added bonus for me is that the puffiness around my ankles, wrists, and the bases of my fingers is greatly reduced. I assume that's because more blood sodium keeps water in the circulatory system and prevents it from leaking into the interstitial fluid.

I feel like I'm at the point where if a statement is conventional wisdom, the healthier option is to do the exact opposite!
