Ok Poaler Bears, I'm under doctor's orders to decrease my salt intake to see if it decreases fluid retention (I'm not fat...it's fluid in my dang ears).

I dont have a sweet tooth, and love spicy food. So what are Poal's reccomendations on tasty dishes that are spicy or at least palatable without applying hefty amounts of salt? I'm a good cook so I can readily whip some dishes up if someone has a couple of suggestions.

Assunming you are insulin resistant, cutting out carbohydrates and reducing insulin spikes would help greatly. Current research I have encountered suggests that it can interact with the kidneys RAAS system to induce sodium ion retention, inducing fluid retention. Therefore, pushing insulin levels toward baseline levels could alleviate your problem provided you are insulin resistant.

Fortunately I dont have insulin problems. I'm blessed to not have a sweet tooth, so I'll probably be the one person who doesn't end up fat and dying of the 'beetus.

Does carb reduction make a difference in fluid retention for people who have healthy insulin levels?
