Have you ever noticed how some people just have to chew on ice? It's a mineral deficiency. I believe it's iron. Mind you, there are trace minerals in water, but still it's been proven in clinical studies. Maybe you're lacking something that causes that craving. In the meantime, why not try to really jazz your food up with herbs and use acids to try to wean yourself off of the salt. We hardly use salt in our cooking and I find that most restaurants use way too much salt in their seasoning. Hmm. We are polar opposites in that regard, sister....

I love it and enjoy it but don't crave it. I tried the 6 week body makeover and it basically has you remove the bulk of your salt intake. That didn't last too long for them though. I love my salt. But when I see someone who uses it more than me I wonder why they are using so much salt. Weird. I am diabetic (Type 2) and I don’t crave salt. I love it and enjoy it but don’t crave it.

My ex-husband left over a year ago and I've been quite celebate since. Of course, a miracle pregnancy would be cool. I do actually want a 2nd child :) I think diabetes is just sugar, you know the whole insulin regulation issue and sugar as a trigger. But, if salt is also a sign, I maybe should be checked. I do have PCOS and part of that is a sort of insulin resistance problem. I have an appt with my old doc (who finally started taking BCBS again) and I need to make a note to ask her.
