Dance the positive spin..
First off, im sorry for asking another panic question! Its about my smoked salmon which is pretty much my staple - i swiched to Aldis ss a few weeks ago but just today noticed its billed as cured in demarara sugar!!! For all i know this is normal - but it set alarm bells ringing!
After my first week losses, i didnt drop more than a pound in next fortnight - i was then BAD and fell off wagon for a late night choccy snack followed by the next day's meals aswell - which resulted in 8.75lb gain - eeeeek! Previous to that i had done 3 days pp in preparation for 3 days pv when i had family staying! The 'fall' was the day after the 3day pv when family left; so the next day i went back on 3 days pp and have kept up the same alternating 3day rhythm since! I have only lost 4lb of said gain since (in 8 days). I understand the gain is my fault but its not shifting as i expected given it was just 36hours (and presumably a fair chunk being water-glycogen etc) and that on top of a near-stall in previous fortnight has me wondering in case im missing something else!!
God i dont half digress - back to the smoked salmon! (which i really really hope is ok). Im just wondering/panicking if that cud be contributing to slowing me down or if its normal levels nutritionally for smoked salmon. Im not sure how to guage it given the good fish fats which is something i struggle to get my head around etc

Sat fat 22%
salt 56%
i easily have 150g a day and admittedly quite often 200% which is obviously twice the above....
PS. I do realise the sodium is high but im happy with that water retention risk as i have blood pressure crash issues and am encouraged to eat extra salt to help that! I also drink average 4litre minimum per day to help counteract salts. Its more the fats im concerned about
Thank you so much for trawling thru all this xx
