Re: Salty diet makes you hungry, not thirsty
#2This may explain why some diets to reduce weight strictly prohibit any salt intake. When I read about that, their explanation was always vague and essentially was hand waving about an experimentally discovered fact.
This study hints the real effect - to combat excessive salt the body needs more energy that makes people hungry and eat much more than necessary to offset the salt consumption.

#3A friendly reminder that your body does indeed need salt. If your consumption is not excessive, there is nothing to worry about. This effect is more about eating a 3rd french fry,or potato chip imho. Read about electrolites (brawndo joke here) and learn what balance makes you feel best.

Oddly, that would imply a high salt, low calorie diet would lose you the most weight... if self control wasn't your limiting factor.
