It's pretty obvious you needed it so feel no guilt. No medical wisdom to
offer but I look at it this way: The only time I eat food with added salt
is when I eat out, and even THEN I eat as close to au natural as possible.
So I feel little if any guilt for adding a touch of salt to say, a steamed
vegetable or something. One size does not fit all and do what's best for
you. If you're drinking a lot of water and then LOSING it (simple math
here), you're also losing sodium. A lot of people starting a low-carb plan
lose potassium and, if memory serves, another micronutrient or two due to
frequent urination.
