Hi Nancy - this thread is loaded and I'm trying to catch up...at my last check-up, I had my blood done for all my health markers and the doctor actually said my sodium is low.

(1) I naturally don't 'do salt' on most foods. it's actually an ongoing joke in my family. whenever I make eggs or popcorn, they always have to add salt, b/c I don't.....they think I'm weird, but never want it

(2) we have a history of high blood pressure (mine has been borderline high for years, but not high yet)

what is the best way to get sodium? is it based on weight? you said 5 grams...so, is it as simple as consuming 5000 mg (via reading labels)

if you've already laid out these examples or dosages, I apologize, just reading through all the posts on this thread

As always, thanks for the info... I've heard a lot about Volek and Phinney's books through LLVLC blog and really want to invest in , "The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living: An Expert Guide to Making the Life-Saving Benefits of Carbohydrate Restriction Sustainable and Enjoyable" soon!
