#194: The truth about salt with Stan Efferding
Stan Efferding, the world’s strongest bodybuilder and the creator of The Vertical Diet, is back on the podcast! He is so knowledgeable, and this isn’t one you’ll want to miss.
We find so many women, when they start taking packaged foods out of their diet and eating more whole foods, usually end up undereating salt. Sometimes, we actually get them to track their salt intake, and then it often ends up being too low. This is because the only salt they get is what they add to their food (meaning they usually need to add more!).
So, in this episode, Stan and I chat about the importance of salt. We cover:
➡️Getting enough electrolytes
➡️The problem with salt/sodium restriction
➡️Symptoms of a low salt intake
➡️The benefits of salt
➡️How to add salt to your diet
➡️How much salt you need
➡️How training impacts your sodium levels and intake
➡️The water-salt relationship
