Sodium intake while cutting

[Deleted member 18418]

Is it true that salt cause bloat?

 

[Yellowskies]

Yes

 

[LightSkinNoob]

No as long you drink a lot of water you’ll be fine

No, that's an oxymoron, bloat is caused when you ingest too little electrolytes like salt and your body produces much more anti diuretic hormones, these hormones try to save the sodium ions from being flushed in the urine, but because sodium and water have opposite charges they attract eachother and water also gets retained in your body more

Very informative, thank you sir.
I was wondering as well, how long should It take me to lose 3-4% bf? (From 15% to 11-12%) if I eat on a 300kcl deficit? Thanks

Whats your weight?

Salt causes bloat when you eat more than you normally do. The consistency matters way more than the actual amount.

Honestly though the whole salt causing bloat thing is cope, you’d be hard pressed to add more than 1kg of water weight by eating a ton of extra salt. Bf% and bones are really all that matters

It would take you about 2 months on a 300 caloric deficit to lose 3-4% bf

You can sound like you know what you’re talking about and provide as many sources as you want but maybe you should try eating less than 2g salt per day for 3-4 days with high water intake and you will notice a big difference.
