Before the project began, I did not salt my food, even though other food I consumed contained salt already. Since I was a little girl, I never really liked it that much/forgot it existed. When I played sports, pre-wakame life, I would keep those double barrel salt packets with me to eat before games in hot weather. Bottoms up!
Salt has been the most challenging thing for me to deal with on the PCP journey. Let's put it this way - previously, one of my mottos was "life needs salt". On the PCP, I have found it VERY difficult to eliminate salt entirely - however, I have become MUCH more sensitive to salt. Example - my wife brought home leftovers from a nearby taqueria the other night - a Carnitas plate. Feeling tired and lazy, I decided to weigh out the leftovers and eat them for dinner. There was steak (carnitas), beans, rice and tortillas. I ignored the beans, got a fresh tortilla, weighed out the rice and meat, took a bite of the rice...and almost spat it out! SOO SALTY! I ended up subbing some of my plain brown rice that I have around for "carb emergencies". So...even though I haven't been able to cut it out completely, I feel like I'm a LOT more conscious of it.
