You are right Mildez . And no its not a dumb question at all! Salt doesnt store fat at all, but it does retain fluid - hence the reason for my substantial gain this morning . It is also linked to increasing blood pressure and puts a lot of strain on the kidneys if a high salt diet is regular thing in a persons life.

So whilst, yep one day doesn't seem all that bad - I have retained fluid for two reasons. Doing body Pump last night (weight training will retain fluid in the muscles) and the tacos = one yucky weigh in this morning .

So I feel a lot of cardio coming on today to get rid of that excess fluid!
