We all know losing weight isn’t just about exercise, it is also about nutrition. And there’s one place in your diet we’re now learning is key to shedding pound: Salt!
For years it was believed that salt was primarily associated with high blood pressure. But, now research shows that high salt diets are associated with more fat cells on the body. What's more is that salt causes your fat cells to become denser, so it's harder for you to lose weight. Even worse, many supposed "healthy" foods are high in salt, just waiting to attach themselves to your waist, hips, and thighs.
Yikes, we needed details! And we got them when we talked with The Nutrition Twins Lyssie and Tammy Lakatos, registered dietitians, personal trainers, and co-authors of The Secret to Skinny: How Salt Makes You Fat and the 4-Week Plan to Drop A Size & Get Healthier with Simple Low Sodium Swaps.
