Just to put a feeler out there..does anyone crave salt? I do all the time for first time ever. Never have been a big salt person..Never struggled with high blood pressure etc.

Cravings (and folks are different in what they crave) is not uncommon!

Just on general principles, I say "If I crave, I don't want". It's like ANY food or restaurant commercial on TV... If on TV, it's OFF my plan!

Trying to beat my evil craving brain into submission!

I crave foods I shouldn't eat.( CHEESE and salty-crunchy anything) Arts 137, you and I may share a brain. I always agree with your posts. At any rate, I am wondering about those restaurant commercials and how they will affect me post-surgery. As of right now, I am trying to figure out how to combat them. They always give me the munchies!

I have only craved salt once, specifically salty potato chips. Looking back it was a time that I was probably really dehydrated and missing some basic electrolytes (thank you Miami heat). I generally shy away from anything salty which is why I thought it was so odd at the time. If you are craving it maybe look at getting some good electrolytes in.

New to here... Craving salty snacks, crackers, chips...etc. Never excited me before, what's up ? Any body else wanting foods that never interested them before?

I crave salty chips too. Want the crunch. I'm 3 months out. Never really cared for chips before but had a real sweet tooth. Now I dont really crave sweets. Thought that would never happen.

Thanks teach! I deal with 'em by (and I am serious) having a mental list of things I see on TV. If I have seen it on TV I will NOT eat it. I am a junkie. I can't do things half way. When I dose, I overdose. Sad but true.

And for those seeking a "crunch", try celery :-)

I find dried edamame satisfy my need for a salty crunch while giving me good amounts of protein and fiber. May be worth trying

Where can I find it?

I know amazon has it : http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1/177-2932750-6494661?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Edamame

I suspect whole foods, trader joes, central market etc do too.

That's funny. I just placed an order from Amazon. Great minds

Baked snap peas or sweet potato chips r a nice alternative.
