I am craving salt. I know my body must need a little. I grabbed a few potato chips (I know, bad choice! But I was desperate!), but am looking for a healthier option. Seems like my diet is filled with sweet stuff these days. Protein Shakes, yogurt, pudding....How can I get a little salt in?

I eat pumpkin seeds. Love the ones I found in the veggie area at Wal-mart, they are already out of the shells, not too much salty and high in Protein.< /p>

Easiest way is to just sprinkle salt on your meals like meats, potatoes, Soups, and oatmeal. You can also grab some Saltine Crackers. Else when I get craving I just put some salt on a spoon and slowly lick it.

Hummus is a nice salty dip; and pnut butter too. Later on nuts are a good option.

These are my go-to salty snack, in one convenient little package!

I actually bought Protein potato chips from My bariatric pantry. They taste a lot like regular potato chips, but you get your Protein in at the same time. Not the sort of thing I would recommend all the time, but when I'm craving something salty, they do the trick.

PORK RINDS!!!! I was so happy when I realized Pork rinds were all Protein and no carbs. I had avoided them all my life and now I can have them!!!! Of course, that is kind of specific taste element...you either love 'em or hate 'em. Kathe

I recently discovered Just the cheese Crunchy Baked Cheese Snacks. Yummy, and satisfies that desire to crunch! I just ordered some of their popped cheese too - I miss popcorn sometimes and hope this might be a satisfying alternative for an occasional treat.

Im still on full liquids, so I resorted to sipping dill Pickle Juice to satisfy my salt craving. OMG! did it hit the spot.

We were sleeved around the same time I think. Fat free refried Beans with cheese, low fat chili, or Soup with a little extra salt is good for my salt cravings. I know what you mean about only having sweet things. It definitely gets old. I already have halloween candy in my house and i'm not tempted at all.

What about almonds? They have a ton of flavored almonds by Blue Diamod. They are amazing! My favs: habenero BBQ (not as spicy as it sOunds), honey Dijon and chili lime. Amazing and good for us in moderation!

I like Hardtimes beef Jerky. Satisfies my salt craving with a Protein boost.

I had to add salt to me diet as well because I was getting dizzy when I stood up. Soft cheese, Peanut Butter, one or two peanut butter crackers, potato Protein Snacks, hummus, slim jims, and canned Soups are some of the things that helped me.

almonds!

I was at Safeway last week and in the deli section they had "crackers" that were made entirely from cheese - four different flavors. They're nice and crunchy. Of course, I love anything made with cheese. But, no carbs, and several grams of Protein in them. You can make your own too, which I've done, but I have a hard time baking them for the right amount of time to get them crunchy. (There's a recipe on these forums for them).
