Salt can make you hungry and tired, as well as thirsty.

When overweight/obese people cut down on salt they lose weight, because for them, cutting down on salt reduces their thirst and excess fluid retention. Then, having less weight to carry round obviously means they become less tired. And in addition, because of having less weight to carry around, they need less food to provide them with the energy/calories to carry their lighter body around, so they feel less hungry.

There is no need to diet to lose weight! - Dieting makes you more tired, cold and hungry. It is not necessary, it does not make you less obese, and it is usually harmful.

Lose weight, reduce your risk of most cancers, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, heart attack, vascular dementia, stroke, osteopenia, osteoporosis, hypercholesterolaemia, depression, liver damage and kidney problems, and improve your health in many other ways without drugs, hunger or expense by eating less salt! - Try it! - You will feel so much better!
