My stomach is gnawing away at me today. I'm thinking of having some Mt Olive mini gherkins (which are adorable 2-in. long pickles BTW). I am worried about the fluid retention of the salt. What should we be aiming for in regards to sodium? I weigh myself a couple times a week and I don't want to have a stroke :shock:

when I see what the results are of too much.

I read somewhere Medifast wants us to have between 500-2400 mg sodium each day.

Pashta's correct. 2400 mg is the max daily for sodium intake.

I thought the gergins were sweet pickles? If so can we have those? I love them.

I tend to be near the 100% of recommended daily allowance level. I'm not sure how many mg that is.

I think the RDA from the government is max 2000 mg a day, I think MF allows a little more because it is slightly dehydrating and salt will help balance us out.

Penny--Mt Olive makes a Sweet Gerkin sweetened with Splenda!

Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for sodium is 1500 mg but with a maximum allowance of 2400 mg. Most Americans consume around 5000 mg per day.
