Salt addiction?

[Kaila]

Hello all-

I'm transitioning into raw foods, and so far feel very good about it and the goals I have reached!

I don't really crave cooked foods - although I'm doing my transition gradually - however I crave salt constantly. Morning to night.

Is there such a thing as a salt addiction? Any tips to detox from it? Any ideas why I crave salt constantly since improving my diet?

If you are taking in a lot of salt you will want to increase your water intake in order to flush it out. I highly recommend replacing your regular salt with a good quality sea salt. This will increase your mineral intake which may be what your body is craving. My son used to put gobs of salt on everything until I switched to sea salt without telling him. He never noticed the difference but I noticed after roughly a week that he was not using nearly as much salt on his foods.

I'm having this issue too. I'm pretty sure my sea salt is processed though, as it's white and just plain'ole walmart sea salt. I bought organic raw olives and I've been craving them like crazy Mouth watering and all!

boy are they good tho! :o
