Salt is the sneakiest saboteur of all. It makes you retain water like a sponge. For this week, go lightly on salt. Season your food with herbs, lemon juice, or black pepper instead.
If you eat salty chips or a burger, you’ll see the scale go up by three pounds overnight. That’s not fat—it’s just water laughing at you. And we don’t let water win. Stay salty (in personality only) but low-sodium in food.
