Question:
Does having salt and pepper on your food affect how much weight you lose?

I am five weeks post-op and eat creamy soup which doesn't have any sodium in it. I need to have some taste to my food if I am going to eat/drink it. any suggestions?    — [Anonymous] (posted on May 17, 2000)

Hi, Salt can cause you to retain water. But for the amount that you would likely use in your soup, it would probably not be enough to hinder your weight loss. Hope this helps!
