Salt is rising to the top of the health
agenda; every major health agency, including the World Health
Organization and the National Academy of Sciences, has recommended drastic
reductions in sodium consumption. For years, salt has hid under the
radar screen when it came to weight loss: It was believed that salt
could cause problems if it was raising blood pressure. Wrong! Research
shows that high salt diets are associated with more fat cells on the
body; what's more, salt causes your fat cells to become denser, so it's
harder for you to lose weight. Even worse, many supposed "healthy"
foods are high in salt, just waiting to attach themselves to your waist,
hips, and thighs.
The Nutrition Twins® have helped hundreds of clients lose weight,
eliminate bloating, and tone up for good on their salt-slashing program—with
the side benefits of reducing blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Simple
and effective, their 4-week diet is built around key lo-so foods: green-light
"Anti-bloaters," "Flushers," and "Slimmers,"--foods
that keep you slim by helping your body excrete salt and pounds. They
shine a light on the red-light "Bloaters," "Pluggers,"
"Chubbers," and "Flabbers,"--foods that you should
avoid because they pack on the pounds. With easy-to-find foods that are
full of flavor, they will show you how to swap out salt saboteurs with
foods that keep you satisfied and slim.
