Healthy Weight Loss

my first thought was "aren't those salty?"

I can "gain" 3 pounds if I eat Chinese food for dinner until I flush the sodium out.

I think Tawse is right on the money--salt is the culprit.

If I drink too many diet cokes (sodium), I retain water.

Also, I gain about 1.5-2 pounds of water weight right before my period. It is not uncommon to gain up to five pounds during this time!

I just try to up my water intake and flush out the sodium.

Don't stress about it, Jo!

Diet drinks also increase cravings for sweet things, research shows.

Yeah, I think I read that too!

I'm pretty good about sweets, though.

I've been off sugar for weeks now (except for one scrummy dessert) including all the white stuff (bread, rice, potatoes) and have had hardly any cravings after the first week.
