Yes salt (sodium) retains water.
Just because you don't eat salt doesn't mean you won't hold water though.Health Question & Answer

No - that won't work. Firstly, you're not just talking about the salt you sprinkle on top of food - its also *in* food - and you can't avoid it. Low salt diets only work long-term and even then, mostly just for high blood pressure. It won't make any significant difference in your weight to cut out salt now.Health Question & Answer
If you are worried about water weight, drink more water. Your body does not retain water as much when you are getting a lot. This will only help with about 3 pounds though... diet and exercise are the thing for real weight loss.Health Question & Answer
What a dumb thought (sorry if that offends). If you've been eating a healthy diet or the diet you were advised to go on, then this shouldn't be an issue.Health Question & Answer
