How to handle intense salt cravings?

Postby a-great-hunger » Tue Mar 26, 2024 8:02 am

I tend to get intense salt cravings at night, to the point where I will chug salted broth and eat plain table salt. I try to avoid salting my food excessively, but I find that using a lot of salt on my food helps me consume enough salt to feel satisfied - otherwise I will keep eating trying to get enough sodium. (It's either that or I might end up eating something extremely salty like string cheese.)

I don't really like this and would prefer an alternative. Any suggestions?
