@kamama94 and @whenley, I had some withdraw symptoms too when I started really paring back on salt. However, like Kamama, I use cider vinegar and lemon juice along with herbs and spices to add some zest and flavor. Mashed potatoes and boiled eggs were the hardest for me. I eat and use a lot of celery because it is ok for my diet. A colleague I taught with years ago gave up smoking by keeping celery stix on hand for each time she felt the urge to smoke. I can still 'see her' munching a way on those celery sticks on breaks. Long after she'd stopped smoking, she continued the celery stix breaks and gave them credit for some needed weight loss.
@kamama94 Glad to hear I am not the only one who finds celery to taste salty, now!
