    Anyone have this problem, on ULC days if I eat I get bloated and feel full for over 3 hours at times. What this does to me is not make me want to eat for a long period. Another thing it does is makes it difficult to ingest more water, which I know is important on this program because of the rationĀ  of fats and proteins. I think it could possibly be due to the sodium in much of the food I eat…..burgers, salami, pepperoni, ground pork. So one thing I was thinking is cutting that stuff out for a bit and possibly re-introduce leaner, less sodium meats like chicken and turkey………as long as I add adequate fat (butter, coconut oil, low-sodium bacon) I think I should be ok. Help?

    Pretty much that cause of that, or stress in life situations that can play a role.

    http://dangerouslyhardcore.com/forum/index.php?topic=3836.msg40834#msg40834I don't think you need low-sod bacon (see post above) since you're ULC most of the time and I don't see why you wouldn't have beef - it's a staple of these programs. Chicken and Turkey are not as ideal.If you're adding salt around your CN then it will cause issues.

    AND – unless my search is wrong – beef isn't high in sodium (anyone can correct me)

    No just the bacon because of perserving it in the package. I really haven't seen high numbers for beef. Also the seasonings could be an issue too that you might use while cooking!

    phxplay & Big TexIm not going to replace beef, well atleast steak I won't. Im going to keep the steak and add in chicken and turkey a bit more. Im going to try out lower sodium bacon so I can cut the sodium down some. Im still going to make sure that I get plenty of fats from butter, coconut oil, ghee, low sodium bacon. You guys have any other suggestions..............

    Normally when I cook my foods I don't add any salt, I might add some sea salt like 1-2x a month. Just cause. But the only sodium I ever get is from bacon or the treats I get for the backloads or my CN. I would over packaged lunch meats. They are nasty stuff first off and second you would be better off probably getting it from an actual butcher/deli meats section. Avoid those store packaged stuff…
