    Anyone out there crave salt on P2....I have had a kinda weird1st round. Started using hhcg drops, went for 17 days, lost 15 pounds then had to have surgery. Went off the drops for 10 days, kinda cheated, comfort food ya know, but didn't gorge or anything. Gained 3 pounds total. Started drops again, didn't do a loading day or anything, 4 days in so far, weight loss 6 pounds total, so all told for all of P2, 18 pounds (because I gained the 3 lbs)...so yesterday and today, I've started craving salt, like eat it out of the salt shaker type cravings.....Anyone else have this problem, should I be worried, am I just weird??

    Hey Thin,

    I craved salt. I thought it was for 2 reasons. First, we miss the taste of food. So many flavors are missing and salt is an easy way to add flavor. The other is probably an electrolyte imbalance, especially later in P2.

    You haven't eliminated salt, have you. Dr Simeons says not to do this.

    Best Wishes,

    No, I've been cooking with salt, actually more that what I used to because I know I got lots of sodium in my previous diet. I only used to add salt to my mashed potatoes when I was cooking and barely added any salt to any other food. Now, I'm cooking with salt and then actually craving it...I'm sure I'll suffer from it with water weight retention, but I've actually been eating it, sea salt, letting the little chunks melt...

    You may retain a little, but potassium and magnesium supplements help.

    Also, ACV always helps. Not sure why.

    I've got some calcium/magnesium supplement tabs, haven't checked the ingredients on it yet but I will, have no potassium in the house. If I'm still craving tomorrow, I'll pick up some of these supplements at the health food store....Thanks!
