@Westside PUFAs I like that you present a different perspective on the RP diet besides the standard 'milk, OJ, eggs, gelatin, liver' interpretation that's been done to death (don't get me wrong, I know this approach has value for many people). Sorry if you've answered this already, but what's your stance on salt / sodium?
Sodium is a vitamin but it's easy to overdo. I have lowered my intake because I get dehydrated with too much of it and I want to taste more flavors in foods without it or with less. My sensitivity to salt adjusts as the amount of it adjusts. Salt makes you hold onto water. Slim Fast works but making people lose 10 lbs. of water in a week because of very low salt intake but they don't lose any fat. I've found that using the minimal amount of salt for taste works for me. I feel less bloated, less brain fog, etc. I'm not worried about getting too little because it takes extreme things to become hyponatremic.
