Salt doesn't make you bloated?

[TsarTsar444]

Was digging into bloat threads the past hour and there was a post in a thread where some guy who said he is very knowledgeable on this field wrote this:

"This place is so fucking stupid it makes me laugh. Almost none of this shit is true. Zero real research went into writing this puke. Do some research on aldosterone. Your body adjusts to any amount of sodium. The key is keeping sodium intake the same everyday. Sodium done right will actually make you look leaner and make your muscles more pumped and suck the water out under your skin.

Nr1 body fat. No fat = no bloat since water under your skin is in fat. Nr2 is hormones estrogen, prolactin and testosterone and their ratios. Even cortisol plays a role. Nr3 is diet. Carbs most importantly. Lowering sodium helps only temporarily."

highIQcels, is this true that keeping constant sodium levels is thr key yo not get bloated and not low sodium intake?

Try it out yourself & eat a ton of salt everyday

 

[JamesHowlett]

It’s true.

You will be less bloated after a week of high salt compared to 6 days of low salt and the 7th day you have high salt.

I always add 3g of salt to my milk, helps to regulate aldosterone alongside the table sugar which I also add to the milk, and it is anti-hypertensive (but potassium intake should be increase too; you are taking salt as an isolated form)

Most of the time is due to a lack of potassium and water.

i didn't understand what you meant tbh, isn't 3g too much? Why sugar? Is potassium necessary?

who wrote this? he seems knowledgeable and i can confirm by personal experiences that he is right
i came up with the exact same theories regarding bloat about steady sodium intake aswell as hormone ratios

i am interested in his opinion about diets, mainly carb intake

There’s a grain of truth to it but only a grain. Your body would adjust to a high sodium intake after a while and you’d get less subcutaneous water retention if you ingested the same amount of sodium every day than if you normally ate a low sodium diet and suddenly ingested several times the amount of salt. To keep water retention under control ideally however , what matters a lot more is the ratio of potassium to sodium. If you keep your potassium intake much higher than your sodium intake (2-3x higher), you could eat 10 grams of salt per day without any significant bloating. Why is this being regurgitated so much? It should be known by now

it was one of those high iq greycels with no avi, he wrote this and dipped back in 2019

Btw wouldn't low sodium be more natural in humans? If there isn't civilization humans would eat meat, fruits, vegetables and non of them have sodium.

This whole topic is now confusing me

How should the ratios of estrogen, prolactin and test be?

I can personally confirm very low bloat and water from face pulled as well on keto-carnivore. Mich kore on carnivore. Now on standard bodybuilding diet with fucking white bread and the bloat is back along with chest puffiness fml

doesnt really matter since you cant alter any of them with a diet
most you can do is nofap, other than that start injecting T

Wtf? Lool

You do know there is research on this shit. It only takes a few minutes to comb through examine or pubmed or other sites to see studies. Then take readings, supplement and then see the changes after 3 months.

Wtf? Lool

Oh

Okay I meant the changes in hromones from diet and supplemenst.
Tho this is interesting that prolactin keeps being released. Didn’t think nofap was legit? Does that mean so sex as well? Wtf? Lol

the big problem is that its very hard to ingest so much potassium with a balanced diet, you would need too eat like 1kg of spinach or 7 bananas every day to make the 2:1 ratio with 2000mg of salt for example

It’s incredibly easy. Eating 7 bananas isn’t a big deal for me but if you don’t want to, you can eat dried apricots, potatoes, lentils, dates and many other foods high in potassium. Even the lazy route is feasible: potassium HCL. There’s no excuse

im on low carb so i can't eat all the things you just said, carbs make you the most bloated

i have dermatitis which is exacerbated when i eat lots of carbs, so is it safe to supplement most of my potassium, like 2-3000mg a day? ik that in high doses it’s used in lethal injections

You can mix your table salt with potassium HCL in a 2:1 potassium to sodium HCL ratio.

Interesting that carbs worsen your dermatitis symptoms, probably by increasing your SHBG levels. Avoiding carbs is just suppressing symptoms through downregulation of sebaceous gland activity

Well in accordance to science the nutrition and dietetics, sodium does have hydrophilic properties and can make the body retain water when high-levels are ingested.

This water retention, caused by an increase of sodium consumption, causes an increase in extracellular fluid - as opposed to an increase in volume of the subcutaneous adipose tissue (fat).

Extracellular fluid volume is determined by the balance between sodium intake, and renal excretion of sodium. Thus, consuming higher amounts of sodium than the body is excreting it can exacerbate the water-retaining properties of sodium.

Perspiration, and consuming large amounts of water, enhances the body's renal excretion of sodium.

I hope that makes any sense.

(The keyword here is a 'high' sodium intake levels. I am not saying sodium is a negative thing; it's crucial for many biological functions in the body).

reviving this cause its important

Then explain to me why I look less bloated with low sodium compared to consistent high sorium?

maybe u r not consistent

What do you mean by consistent what range? I eat within 500-700mg

link studies or article I will react heart

bruh look at my rep do i look like i give a fuck

bruh look at my rep do i look like i give a fuck

I meant to say I eat between 3500-4200mg of sodium
