Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 The average sodium intake in the USA is 4000 mgs a day. At the center ours is around 900-1200. Every week I see a 100 people who go from 4000 to 900-1200 and watch them for 1 week to 6 months. I rarely if ever see a problem in electrolyte balance, and if I do, it is in someone with advanced kidney disease. The body adjusts not only to a lower sodium intake but also to a higher fiber intake (which may create discomfort for a few days) lower protein intake and etc etc However, remember, when you go on a fast, people are giving up lots of things, besides salt, usually. And, there are many contributors to why they may feel hungry or bad. Regards Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
